Likewise Bugbear could also be shaped to be more favorited attribute wise and reach means I wouldn't need to spend a reaction getting away if I just move away after an attack. Mountain Dwarf gets you a +2 to both Dex and Wis which on a monk is amazing.
I think Bugbear/Mobile are more useful than Swiftstride, which only triggers "when a creature *ends its turn* within 5 feet of you" (like Scout rogue), which would usually be after they attacked you.
