I mean yes, the backstab stuff was irritating, but Mecrutio has a point that having no game acknowledgement of any sort of flanking bonus feels like a sideways move. +2 attack bonus for flanking is pretty standard, though as Kingmaker has shown, fighting lots of enemies (often with sneak attack) this will punish the player if they are not careful.
But this is 5e and there is no flat footed or touch AC in 5e, and the flanking rules are in terms of advantage (booo) rather than a numerical bonus, so maybe it will make it to the final thing, maybe not. imo the +2 to hit feel like a better way to do it but my anti-5e bias is now leaking from every pore
