Bears are a great addition, but during the winter, seeing bears spawn makes them feel very out of place.

Knapping is nothing compared to the other features of the game which are far more tedious. In fact, knapping should be more challenging and tedious in my opinion. It should be 3D with a unique rock every time you do it. Otherwise, I'd recommend Creative mode or hopefully there are mods. I play this game with my wife and it's time consuming and complicated for the both of us. As challenging and tedious as it may be, it's these kinds of features that keep people's attention, playing this over Minecraft.

I'm really into realism, so my views on bodies of water. Actual moving rivers, going up them shouldn't be possible. Different types of waters, such as salt, fresh, and brackish. Different animals and plants based on different water types. Add rafts and boats, ocean with waves would be great. For sails, would prefer a system similar to Scum the game, where you go side to side in order to go against the wind rather than paddling like in Valheim. Boats need to be able to support multiple people. Need a thirst system where we can't drink brackish or salt water, requiring us to store water in order to travel across oceans.
