I'll be even more disappointed if it turns out everyone is just nerfed by the tadpoles
Im quite sure that nobody was actually.
- Shadowheart had her memory wiped ...
If this isnt reason to have zero experience, i dont know what is. 
- Astarion (imho) never had any to begin with ...
I mean, he was a noble, all his work was to show up on a Ball, charm some other noble ... and drag them to his master lair.- Gale have orb in his chest, that consumes magic ...
My headcannon here is that the experience drained quite a lot of his own casting abilities.- Wyll ... well, i still dont believe he did anything he say ...
IMHO he is just fraud, he never saved anyone, he is no hero ... Mizora imho just send around some tails about his heroic deeds.- Lae'zel? Well, Lae'zel is still a child, she didnt even finish her mature ritual (hunting a Mind Flayer) ...
So basicaly, there still isnt anything to loose. - Karlach had power from Zariel ... now she dont.
This seems quite self explanatory aswell.- Minsc was a stone ...
Same story as Shadowheart. He kept his memories, but his skills got a little rusty. - Halsin ...
No matter what people say about his level and title, he was obviously leader bcs people concidered him fair, wise, and knowledgable ... not bcs his power.- Minthara ...
In the land of blind, one-eyed man is a King.
Minthara was never particulary strong imho, she is just stonger than Goblins wich is all she needed.So the only companion that seems a bit weird is Jaheira ...
But its quite possible that she is not even tadpoled. :-/
