I agree with you for the chap 4 and 5 point, I restarted the game too and saw the differences, at first I thought that her identity was just obvious to me because I already played the game before and knew how it would end but you reminded me of how it played out before V13, overall the new update made the game less "extreme" maybe the newcomers will like it better that way, well at least now nobody will complains that it's too edgy now.
There's been some other change If I'm not mistaken
Well I guess I'm gonna just play the old V12 so I can check the differences side by side
I love the new maps tho, that's a welcome addition, and like you already said it gives replayability
