Really glad to hear we don't need Ngmodules. Too bad it took them so long to update to ECMA 2017 module system.

The other major miss was related to producing, publishing, and consuming web components.

These two concerns alone was the reason I got off Angular after 7 years.

If you don't mind me asking.

Plain Html5 webcomponents.

How does that work? What is the benefit compared to a framework/library?
Angular templates can also be plain html.
Same with React.

Yes both Angular and React were around before Webcomponents. Both of them implemented the same concept in their own opinionated ways. Both are not necessary any longer either. Good news for those that want to get closer to the metal.
