I think they've been adding all that stuff cuz the d20 engine, along with things like binary AC and all that, is a poor fit for a MMORPG.

So... I guess it depends on yr goal. If you wanna make something super dedicated to TTRPG D&D, something like a AI-powered VTT, then the d20 engine is great. A MMORPG, not so much.
Ehhh, a lot of the things they added that go against tabletop (like Grazing Hits) actually make it a worse game overall. They're just there to paper over the horrendous powercreep the game has experienced.
