I used to think I really wanted more RtWP CRPGs. But after Dragon Ages, Pillars of Eternities, Pathfinders (for the hot minute I could stomach them), and a smattering of what I consider to be other mediocre releases, I have been thoroughly disillusioned with this subgenre.
There probably is a way to do it right, but none of the studios that have tried in the last few decades have succeeded by my measure.
Strange as it is, the only modern RtWP game I like is freaken Final Fantasy 7, which is a RtWP action JRPG, so a very different beast.
But I really don’t think BG1 or 2 needs a full remake. If they did, it would be in the new numberless, editionless ruleset. The action economy of D&D, with actions, bonus actions, free actions, and reactions seems impossible to reproduce in RtWP, so I think it would need to be turn based.
