Planning an expedition into the desert to raid tombs is easy if you have hand-waived away the rules about water or the material components of spells that allow you to create it. This is also an issue in which some scenarios are only interesting if you do not hand wave away logistical mechanics. There are tons of scenarios in which time pressure or resource pressure make sense and are natural to the fiction of said scenario. The issue of not having more pressure time periods is one of campaign/quest design. It gives the players the opportunity to explore their characters, try things out, and get more resources.
IMO allowing rest any time is fine in certain campaign circumstances, like when the party is exploring. In a lot of other areas they plop out a long rest zone in a central location or after every major encounter. To rest scum that area you would have to retreat off the map, rest, and come back. There are only some areas in which there is any attrition-centric encounter design, like the second lava forest in which the placed rest fire is at the end of the zone and is otherwise inaccessible. The criticism of Solasta that it veers between trivial encounters and tough, tricky ones is an accurate one. Nigga dies in three seconds and none of his abilities do anything if you cast a few important buffs ahead of time. Load it up and fight Kangaxx with your current meta knowledge. It's not like BG2 is a lost artifact that you can't check, either. You have to have some meta foreknowledge to counteract some of the aspects of the encounter, particularly the MMO style puzzle with the lightning pulses. The Solasta dragon is pretty hard to shut down because of its incredible movement speed, its legendary actions, and its legendary saves.
But he is pretty easy to shut down in a few rounds.
I can get having rose colored glasses - Firkrag was really tough for me the first time I fought him at age 14. Yeah the Green Dragon fight in Solasta is way harder than any unmodded BG2 dragon fight.
