When this was first discussed as an issue, I thought maybe I was jumping the gun a little, and that Larian was front loading conversations for testing purposes. We have seen some changes to the pacing there, Shadowheart brings up the dangers of, then endorses resting (though only after you've decided to), they added camping supplies, and they've limited the number of times you can use the tadpole each long rest. Note that's two changes to encourage more long rests and one to encourage less long rests.
There are still a bunch of conversations I wouldn't know about except when they're mentioned here, or randomly on Youtube.
Hearing Neleothesze talk about getting scenes only after long rest 6 and 11 is striking to me, because I think I must top out at LR 6 during my EA runs, and only when playing a spellslinger at that. Larian must have some metrics on what the average number of long rests is across the EA and are putting in mechanics to stretch them out more for a reason...I don't know.
