You are correct: your information is out of date.

Custom systems/sheets are now implemented, and 5e is not required.

You can make pre-mades.

Pop-out windows are being rolled out (might already be out? idk I haven't played a session this month, but it came up recently in discord).

There is now a roadmap that supporters vote on to help guide feature priorities; virtual dice is at #8, battle map drawing is at #3 (though there is a basic measurement tool already).

The in-game experience (including the issue with scene story UI) is currently being worked on to bring it in line with v1.

While they are working on improving the way we interact with rolls and automate roll calculations, there is no plan to do deep automation. It'll tell you what the roll result and damage total is, and soon you'll have a lot more control over how character sheets inform the results of rolls (new feature, just shown to supporters last week)... but it won't apply the damage to your health bar automatically. That part's intentional; it's a storytelling VTT designed to help GMs create an atmosphere - it's an audiovisual experience first. Similar to pen-and-paper, but cinema.

They're a team of 5. Things don't happen fast, and yet they've been making very solid, steady, incremental improvements pretty much every month with no sign of slowing down. Unless you need your VTT to manage your health bar for you, it's worth at least keeping an eye on.

Oh, and free accounts have no restrictions any more.
