The only thing I'm particularly annoyed by is the changes to racial attributes. Some of the other stuff annoys me, but that just completely threw off my plans for the game. I don't plan to play a human, shield dwarf or half-elf until mods come out to revert the changes they have received, despite my original plan being to play a half-drow sorcerer. Of course, Larian is a company known for listening to feedback and providing options, so perhaps they'll add a toggle to switch back to the PHB racials, or at least a toggle for those races heavily affected by the changes.
I mean I hate to burst your bubble here, but Larian are unlikely to add that toggle. You have to understand what such a 'toggle' would do. It would have to change, on the fly, the character sheet of half elves to what they are in EA. And it would have to do it for PS5 and Xbox too. It's clear they had a design philosophy here which was to standardise and simplify character creation, primarily for all the non DnD newbs.
Furthermore if you would want the rules for companions and maybe npcs, they would all have to change. And it would have to be multiplayer compatible ie you couldn't have one player facing the same enemy with completely different stats.
Without any inside knowledge, I think their attitude here might be if this can be done through mods, that's the best way
Good news it is probably very very likely to be one of the first mods for the game, so there's that. I can't see you having to wait too long for this one
