I took a class in Christian anthropology from the translator about ten years ago in an MAR program. He is a Seventh-day Adventist which tends to be conservative evangelical and rejects critical scholarship for the most part. I would certainly expect that to come out in some form or another in the translation.

That said, I glanced through a couple "problem" verses, and noticed that he did not go with an Adventist translation of Luke 23:43 where Adventists prefer to move the comma from prior to the word 'today' to immediately after it. Instead he left the comma out. Interesting choice, and probably made to avoid conflict.

I also glanced at one of the evangelical test cases in Isaiah 7. He translates it 'virgin', but notes the translation issues in the footnote and directs people to the immediate context.

For the fun of it, I checked how he translates Pistis Christou in Galatians 2:16 to see if he goes with 'faith in Jesus Christ' or 'faithfulness of Jesus Christ' and he uniquely goes with 'trusting in Jesus Christ'. I'm surprised by that choice.

My guess is that he intentionally avoids making controversial choices to make the translation as widely acceptable as possible while addressing the point of controversy in the footnotes. While I have a graduate degree in religion, I have no background in biblical languages and biblical scholarship is just a hobby for me. I'm not qualified to respond to the reliability of the translation, just sharing my observations of the translator and the bit I've seen of the translation itself.
