I haven't really followed the fan reception that much -- I thought the Rose controversy was the biggest thing, but maybe not.

I mostly agree with you about the plot. Like there was a particular encounter (versus Heldalf in the plains) that I thought was going to be basically the midway turning point of the game, but actually you are soon after shuffled off to the final boss, and it ends up feeling like half a storyline. Sorey and Mikleo actually lampshade this at the end when they're like "oh man there are so many places in this world that we haven't explored, too bad we never got to go there"

But I was also not in love with the plot, so it wasn't a huge loss. To me, Zestiria shines in the smaller things: character interactions/chemistry, the humor, the skits, the end-of-battle quotes (10x better than Berseria's), the little conversations they have whenever you encounter a new type of enemy. In all of those kinds of aspects I think Zestiria wins out.
