Yeah, the "tactical view" you can access by pressing "O" (by default) feels fairly pointless. Too close to the ground to be of any actual use, too perpendicular to it give you a clear view of what's going on.
I'm not sure if the few times I tried to activate it I've EVER found myself preferring it to the conventional camera under any metric (which is saying something, given than even the default camera isn't exactly flawless).

Party control in Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete mess that begs to be addressed. SAY NO TO THE TOILET CHAIN
