...Plot-wise, there's way too many wasted chances, lack of character development or even presence for some, and, again, no explanations for many things...

Character-wise, it is better, since RT at least doesn't go all out with anime archetypes, making the characters feel more...believable. Though the lack of character development some get kind of hurts this, especially since RT has a tendency to introduce more and more characters instead of developing what they already have. And if they develop someone, is at the expense of many others who also need it....

You forgot that characterwise they shoot themselves in the foot by actively sacrificing development for jokes... Jaune, Ruby, Weiss and Blake are often victims of this.
