The metamagic options could easily be moved to a separate open/close spellcasting interface (Solasta, Pathfinder, NWN 2....), where spells would also go and save precious space from the hotbar. And also be found intuitively, neatly sorted by levels rather than be randomly scattered on multiple pages of a hotbar between random potions, weapon abilities and whatnot with tiny icons and even smaller page turn buttons.

Why does everything, every little icon, need to be on the main screen by default in a turn based game? There will be more and more icons. High level spellcasters will be an absolute nightmare to play with this UI.

I'm not sure if it's what you're saying, but it would be great if they added a hotbar section with four icons to open menus (similar to the current spell level/variant selection menus) for spells, special moves, items and equipment.

The metamagic section of the hotbar should be removed, and metamagic should be with spells, as you said.
A way to split the hotbar into custom sections would also be helpful.

Also, not necessarily hotbar-related, but something about the way that spells are listed in the character sheet menu seems cluttered.
Possibly levels, since activating a level 2 spell also activates the level 1 spell.
