Most of them are insanely powerful and trivialise the game

Imagine Larian providing a game mechanic that trivializes combat!

If you had to turn into an Illithid in order to use them, it would actually be a difficult choice...Imagine Larian providing a game mechanic that trivializes combat!
Instead we get zero consequences and all the power

You need to wait till Act 3 for the really strong ones, though. The earlier are a neat addition - they hardly trivialize anything.
And in Act 3 you're either near or at the level cap and 90% of the game content is trivial regardless, so who cares?
Itemization, including much earlier itemization, is a much bigger balance concern.

In this case, no worries. Psionic Backlash is pretty weak IMO?
Dominance is much better for non-casters, but you won't get it.
Favourable Beginnings and Luck of the Far Realms are always great, though.
Cull the Weak (+ stack tadpoles) is also nice.
Overload is some nice bonus damage, I guess. But often not worth the (Bonus) Action.

I will probably use level cap mod but house rule so that you can only take a maximum of 12 levels in a class(otherwise I'm sure higher level features will break an already unbalanced game).
Some classes really don't give themselves well to multiclass. Monk for instance, which is the class I will take. I guess take levels in Rogue after getting shadowstrike? Thief for the extra bonus action maybe. Expertise in stealth goes really well for a shadowmonk.
Shadowheart knowledge cleric and Astarion lore Bard. No idea second class for each upon level 12. Maybe arcane trickster for Astarion. Either Minthara or Laezel for 4th spot. There is a lot of gith theme gear with psychic damage.

The modding scene seems to have taken off a bit since the modding tools were released. Here's to hoping for a polished difficulty mod that ties in with Honour Mode.
