The Android 15 QPR2 beta hints that Google will bring back icon shape customization, a feature it cut from Android 12.

The only thing you are missing is smooth animations while minimizing apps or triggering the app switcher, swipe between apps works fine.

That seems to work pretty well for me. Predictive back doesn't work but I think I can survive without it.

If your device has more than 60 hz, perhaps that feature might mask this a bit, but definitely stock launcher will always have smoother animations than third parties if you are using full screen gestures, I am currently in MIUI (I was on AOSP before) and well, I can't even install another launcher here, but I can confirm it is as smooth as it can be.

No, I wish I did though. I have a Pixel 6A currently running Android 15 The stock launcher might be smoother but I have pretty much only used it for 1 weeks time in total before I get frustrated as hell and switch back to Nova my beloved.

Interesting, I see the differences in animations but they're very subtle and not at all a dealbreaker for me

They are quite annoying to me, especially if I am multitasking fast, it will kinda get stuck in the middle of the usage... And that is not nice.
