That being said we've been enjoying the game on PS5 following this Reddit thread. Essentially you play without splitscreen but with two player made characters and assist controller enabled in accessibility settings (it is no longer in beta like in the thread, this feature is now available to all).

Pros: you get beautiful game, combat works exactly like in Divinity, dialogues are immersive, romances etc. still work for both characters

Cons: you have to take turns with who is exploring etc. BUT you both hold a controller and can switch to your characters with just two clicks.

I know it might sound crazy... and it is definitely no excuse for not having a proper split screen.. but we already played 35 hours like this and we're finally having fun. Is it perfect? No. Is it hundred times better than the botched split screen? Hell yes.

Cool idea and is definitely better than what they have given us. I just hope they (Larian) don't realize this and decide they don't have to give us a proper couch co-op like in the Divinity games.

That said, while tempting to try, I don't think my wife or I will enjoy this. Having one person go up to a certain point, only for the other to then take over and follow won't feel right. Part of the enjoyment was exploring together and searching different areas within the one fullscreen. If one person goes at a time, they will just clear out the area before the other goes. Kinda defeats the purpose.
