That's not true (at least on Linux). The formatting was always shown.
The "Citation Style" combo was disabled until a citation was selected.
This is the same in the new design. So no change here.

See attached screenshot, showing the initial state of LyX 2.1.x and LyX
2.2.x on Linux. It also documents the size improvement.

This hasn't changed either. Again, see screenshot

That seems true. The Tab accelerators unfortunately do not enter
collapsed panes (which strikes me like a Qt bug). But I am currently
looking into a solution.

No, you can use the keyboard accelerators.
