The way Bard was released should have told us all we needed to know about Reactions. A major change to that system is not happening this late into development, and I wish people elsewhere would stop using that one community manager post as confirmation of an overhaul, because no such thing was ever stated and these people are literally setting themselves up for disappointment (or they're merely overzealous fans trying to use said post to shut up any criticism). The most we're likely to see is an improved system for toggling reactions on/off or settings to prevent certain reactions from automatically going off depending on certain conditions, and many reaction-based abilities being converted to being pre-cast, like what happened with Cutting Words.
I'd love to be proven wrong, but we'll see what happens when we come back to this post in a few months.
Yeah, it's more than worrying they've been trying to create a new system for 2 years now and don't even have something worthy to present...let alone test in EA...
They did add an official Reaction tooltip and icon on abilities, but that's about it.
