Agree almost 100%, specially on 1, 2 and 5, you are spot on. Points 3 and 4 not so much.
Its feels much more like DOS 3 than BG3, and does not feel like BG3 in may aspects, the excess of surface effects is specially annoying for the reasons you pointed out, everything is constantly burning/frozen/steaming.
Higher/Lower elevation is also too much of a factor than it should and eating food during combat is just beyond silly.
