github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4693 is an issue that we might have to run a custom patch for to at least revert this for admins, although that would still harm mod experience then if we only implement an exception for admins

That one is a big one, look at dessalines being dismissive and giving terrible non-solutions (just restore to see removed comments and spam the modlog in the process, great solution buddy). Just give the option for mods and admins to see removed content without doing funny things.
