I go back and forth, honestly. If you don't limit druids to non-metal, Hide armor is pretty much useless, as RagnarokCzD pointed out. Why buy Hide when Studded Leather is better? Hide armor's sole purpose is really druids.
On the other hand, do we care? Hide armor's never really been that great. It's kinda like ringmail. Would we miss it if they got rid of it in BG3? Is the druid armor limitation really a big deal?
In my mind, it's not as important as other class elements that are missing from the game.
But then... It is one of the things that makes druids unique. It gives them more identity. It explains why Kagha, Halsin and ALL the druids don't have better armor and why their leather armor is more, well, nature-y.
So... in the end, I'd probably say it should be added to the game. Is it a big deal if they don't? Meh. But If they don't, armor like Hide is totally useless.
