One house rule to fix railroading the races into certain classes and builds with this point buy would be the free feat at level 1 discussed in another thread.
Feats like...
Resilient, +1 to an ability score and Proficiency in Saving Throw
Athlete, +1 Str or Dex, climb and stand up more quickly
Keen Mind, +1 Int and improved direction and time sense and memory (should be changed into something useful in BG3 like a spell slot or skill bonus)
Observant, +1 in Int or Wis, read lips, +5 bonus in passive Perception and Investigation.
Skill Expert, +1 to an ability, proficiency in a skill and expertise in another
These could let you start with a 16 in your main stat even if your race doesn't support that with the point buy cap of 15. And the feats would be really cool for customizing your character. Of course this would also mean that Githyanki or Elf could start with 18 in Str or Dex, but many other race and class combinations could get that 16 they need.
New possible builds would include:
Athlete High Elf Fighter with 16 Strength
Observant Tiefling Cleric with 16 Wisdom
Skill Expert Dwarf Rogue with 16 Dexterity
Keen Mind Halfling Wizard with 16 Intelligence
Resilient Human Cleric with 16 Wisdom and 17 Constitution and proficiency in Con Saving Throws
