What? No. BG3 is in no way, shape or form more complex than Arcanum and (old) Fallout.
Even New Vegas is more complex than BG3.

This is for example how a NV quest looks like which is more than what BG3 offers.

Mechanically too BG3 is not exceptionally complex, partly on account of D&D rules have been simplified a lot over time. And even when sticking to D&D rules, Solasta uses less shortcuts than BG3.
You bring up the stealth system, but that is not really complex. A lot of games do sight lines and BG3 does not have any advance features like NPCs investigating disturbances.

Yes, complex games like RPGs tend to suffer from a lot of bugs and that includes BG3. But BG3 is not a special case which deserves leniency.
Other companies at least put the time and effort in to fix the bugs, see Owlcat for example which famously suffers from bad quality control but has supported its Pathfinder games for years now with both paid and free content.
Larian now decided not to do that for BG3 though.
