Personally, I'm fine with it being automatically identified. In Solasta and BG1&2 it feels more like a chore after a while, when you start to recognise the basic model for things, and a party slot tax. Solasta added an Arcane Appraiser feat in the last DLC to automatically identify stuff and picking it up made the experience feel so much better.
Not having to identify stuff is a definite quality of life improvement. It wouldn't be a huge deal to have to do it, but it is mostly busy work.
