Overall thoughts below, please disagree if you would like!
Firstly, in my opinion, Patch 5 gets rid of something irritating - the propensity to leapfrog around to get backstab advantage. I like flanking rules and think they can work well in games, but in my experience Pathfinder:kingmaker is RTwP and they work well in the messiness of the combat there. Here, in turn based, I am not so sure. It is impossible for me to really comment without experiencing two different systems. Overall the removal of backstab is good.

Maneuverability in combat - Still a major issue for me. Accidental AoOs, irritating pathing and the very large detours characters have to take around others due to large "hit boxes" are one of the main letdowns.
I agree with these two so much, backstab being gone has improved combat significantly. And, now we can really see the bug/issue with Opportunity Attacks. Misty Step managed to provoke multiple Opportunity Attacks in the recent Dror Ragzlin fight, multiple times.
