If this is not obvious enough: Level 12+ is simply not fit with the narrative/level/encounter they're trying to design with this adventure.
And frankly I agree.
You mean the narrative of
you, which includes among others a chosen of Mystra, saving the world by killing an elder brain (already an enemy for lvl 17+ parties) supercharged by netherese magic and also several other chosen and an avatar of a deity?
Right, not high level at all...
I'd imagine level 17/20 Wiz multiclassed would significantly has better spells than capped level 12 wizard.
Level design, encounter design, etcetra etcetra.
I think you might be drinking the bath water and missing the baby.
I said one thing:
1. the reason the levels don't go higher has nothing to do with the power level of higher levels, despite the fact that so many folks (no one mentioned *you*), including Sven, have suggested otherwise.
Again, I don't care what the cap is. But I find the approved narrative on this to be tiresome and insufferable.

As for the other editions being sooooo different...
On a comparable note, being level 20 in NWN2 isn't all that different from being level 20 in 5e.
