If I had the chance to make edits to the script, I'd have done the following:

Replace the animals in the racing with podracers
Have the hacker guy drop the dreadnought's shields for a moment to permit the Holdo manoeuvre

The podracer stuff is basically just fanservice, but it's very minor and not adding any more distractions than were already there, so I think that's fine

The hacker does have a motivation to ensure the empire doesn't get a clean win. He profits from the war. He wants both sides to struggle. Doing this just as he leaves gives him an actual role beyond betraying Finn and Rose, makes sense for his motivations, and also explains why hyperspeed ramming doesn't usually work in Star Wars

These are good changes. Also I would suggest that they should have switched it to the Leia maneuver instead of Holdo, have her use the force to put Holdo to sleep or something to save her life. If I remember correctly Carrie Fisher had passed away while it was still in post production?

Ahh, I forgot about that. I think they should have just committed to having Kylo Ren kill her. He pulled the trigger, after all, the intent was there.

I liked Holdo as a character. I believe she was meant to come across as overbearing and arrogant because part of her role was to teach Poe that his recklessness was doing as much harm as good. He had to learn to work with other people, and Holdo was the one to show him that. She had to be (initially) unlikeable so that Poe would chafe against her command
