Yes, I agree, it would have been fun to add something other than the overland map to mark progress through the EA process.
I guess Larian consider the Panel from Hell episodes to be providing that sense of EA progress, but I find them to be variable in their usefulness.
I did like Patch 6 overall; visually improved (although darkvision doesn't seem right at the moment ), nice additional content details to find, and combat seems to take less time, so it feels less annoying.
I'd still like to get the Vulkan version working under Linux, as there were a number of instances with the DX11 version where the cinematics only played the audio, which did not occur in previous patches.
