The odd thing about not implementing Reactions correctly means now that every Reaction ability going forward is going to have to have a rewrite to work.

Abilities like Smite, spells like Counterspell, and others, all now require just a completely different interpretation.

Of course, you could assume Larian will make Counterspell a reaction, but you don't get to make a choice. If you have it active, it will just use it immediately on the first spell cast. Same with other abilities, if you have Smite on, it will use it on the first successful attack, no choice.

But, I think this system that is currently implemented, renders the Reaction system to something that is too random and very little control to be meaningful.
