I put 22 hours in over the weekend and the travel is the least satisfying. Much of what is described can be mitigated a bit by walking back to your ship and so on.
I am able to fly away from a location every time but sometimes my ship doesn't "land" I just load in front of a door and I'm not sure why yet.
That said in the first ~10 hours the gameplay loop wasn't my jam and I wasn't sure if I'd even like the game. The last 12 hours have been fantastic and I'm hooked!
I have modded the game a bit though. Here is what I've modded.
There is a green tint I removed
I darkened the gamma as the darks were not very dark and the whole game was too bright
I modded damage from all weapons to be increased, people and ships were too spongy for the guns to feel real. And I die a lot more now which is fun!
The UI runs at 30fps no matter what so I modded it to run at variable to match my current FPS
I added in DLSS for a bit more performance (about 10fps it seems)
I also gave vendors unlimited money because I'm a dirty cheater and I was literally piling up crap on the floor of my ship because I didn't have enough room and I didn't want to just leave it on the planet
