I guess we’ll see when we get to a town, or indeed an inn that isn’t on fire, whether purchase of sex or drugs might be possible in the game. Unless life on the Sword Coast has changed more in the century since BG2 than looks to be the case, it feels feasible that we’d encounter both sex workers and drug use as the adventure continues. I don’t have any strong preference for my character being able to partake personally, though I can see it could help bring roleplay of certain characters to life (my most recent favourite BG1/2 character got drunk at every tavern she visited).
These are also themes that I’d expect to be handled with a bit of nuance, but I think I trust Larian not to do them badly. Though I’m not sure I got far enough into D:OS2 to see what they did there: I’ve not yet made it past the beginning of Act II.
