The way to fix power creep and magic items is to exercise self-restraint if such things bother you. Imposing your way on everyone else is not the way to do it.
I think there is a mod on Nexus which provides Attunement. There are certainly lots of mods to make the game more difficult.
"Casting a spell with Phalar Aluve, switching to your main weapon in real time and then starting a fight" - I manage to not do things like that without Attunement. In fact I have managed to not do that for the more than two decades that I've been playing CRPGs.
IMO Attunement was one of the worst features of Solasta.
