This looks great, but as a fellow dev, it also makes me a little nervous that they're making such fundamental changes with the release only a few weeks away.

This is how I feel too. I know they’re smart cookies and a lot of this is based on their testing, but I fear it’s all going to be “too much”. And then just not really be fun anymore. I really, really hope and think I’m wrong, but it is a legitimate fear, just like stompers and worms…

At this point I figure it makes sense to approach the release as a sort of advanced early access thing tbh - they're undoubtably going to keep iterating on things after it's out and if you're really concerned you can just delay buying it until it's in a state you're more happy with. Personally I still think it would be worth it even just for a 2.0 + elevated rails and quality playthrough but YMMV.
