The problem with implementation of reactions isn't with the engine. When people mention how Solsta implemented reactions they forget that Solasta has homebrew subclasses. Lore Bard and Wild Magic Sorceror means every time an enemy makes an attack roll the game pauses to ask you if you want to use your reactions for Cutting Words or Bend Luck. Fights with many opponents would become extremely sluggish when EVERY little goblin or spider making an attack will cause the game to ask you if you want to use your ability to tamper with the roll. Even if Larian adds the proper by the book reactions they would need to make it optional, because for people who are not DnD purists it could be very annoying.
