Yeah, I'm a fan of the Fire Wall + Hunger of Hadar combo. Big black blinding, slowing pit of frosty, acidic, fiery death. With Lae'zel and Karlach playing quarterback and throwing any enemies that escape... Back into the pit!

Same... But you can get all the T1 and T2 tadpole abilities and still decline the Astral Tadpole (Albeit with a DC20 Wis check). And of course, one of the first mods for BG3 was to remove the ugly tadpole effects...

To be honest, I wouldn't worry too much about that at this point. Work on BG3 has been winding down for a while, I'm not even sure if there will be any more patches (Sven expressed that the team were happy to be moving onto their next project)

Honestly, when in doubt... Any mod files that replace something in the original install... Just move the originals somewhere else. That way if anything borks, you can just put them back and you've got your original game files back.
