There's a known performance issue regarding the feature, don't forget to update the built package file's timestamp if you're building from that branch on Linux.
The cheaty gameplay isn't that bad, as long as it's not the first playthrough. It's definitely way too easy to give you a sense of accomplishment against all odds, but it also allows you to skip all the grind and the sidequests that you should've already done (as those, AFAIK, have no Lea-dependent dialogue).
I didn't know Iconoclasts was usually compared to CrossCode!
I can't really see any similarities. It's a great game, definitely on the level of CC if a bit less git gud in nature, but the only similarity I can think of is both games using pixel art.
"Best you can do"? Nah mate, give me the worst
