You say that all subclasses from existing books have been made compatible but this is obviously not the case - the Arcane Archer isn't available, for example. An omission you are obviously aware of as it is missing from your own list later in the post, proving the original statement contradictory.
I'm also pretty infuriated that I can't select my existing homebrew subclasses because they've been toggled legacy. If WotC's subclasses are all considered compatible with 2024, most if not all of my homebrew will be. I can't easily make the switch from 2014 unless my players are allowed to use it.
I also think you've missed the mark not letting 2024 characters select the 2014 version of spells. Surely it should be up to us which version of each spell we approve for our campaigns.
This last paragraph edited because I was misled by the following statement in OP: "Characters that select a 2024 class will only see the updated versions of the 2024 spell (as well as spells from other source materials)." As long as the Legacy toggle is on, you will also see the 2014 spell.
When using the character builder under Equipment. If you click on "GOLD" under starting equipment it comes up as "nulldnull" in the Pull Down Box to randomize the starting Gold.
The Goliath species feature "Powerful Build" causes the Advantage tag to appear on every skill, when I assume it would be intended for just Acrobatics and Athletics.
Spells given to Warlocks by subclasses are quite bugged. They can be chosen when picking spells, they are "at will" spells on the character sheet, and they don't scale with Warlock slot level as they should.
When creating a character the Slasher feat is not available as an option when picking feats. And neither is Medium Armor Master. Using the 2024 rules only.

I believe DDB tries to support,official rules. And as the official rules of 5.5 state that you use the 5.5 version of any changed 5.0 options, disallowing 5.0 spells on a 5.5 character is following those rules.
I get your frustration as I imagine allowing 5.0 spells on 5.5 characters will be a common homebrew. But I also see where DDB is coming from. But perhaps they'll get that optional functionality later on.
Bug: Cure Wounds listed on the Cleric level 1 spell list as Abjuration, but on the actual page for Cure Wounds and in the tooltip, it is listed as Evocation:

It turns out that you can see the 2014 spell as long as the Legacy toggle is on. The statement in OP, quoted below, misled me.
"Characters that select a 2014 class will be able to see and access both 2014 and 2024 versions of every spell that was updated in the 2024 Player's Handbook. Characters that select a 2024 class will only see the updated versions of the 2024 spell (as well as spells from other source materials).
The gunslinger class isn't showing up when using the 2024 fighter. Not even my homebrew of it
It's not going to. The gunslinger wasn't an official option for the 2014 fighter, and they're not going to migrate a homebrew to the 2024 one. You'll have to create a new 2024 Homebrew Gunslinger Subclass for the 2024 Fighter Class.
Character Sheet Bugs: The damage from Barbarian's rage does not scale and remains a +2 modifier to attacks. Polearm Master's bonus action attack uses Dex regardless of equipped polearm. Epic Boon of Fortitude does not increase maximum HP when Origin Feat 'tough' is present. Epic Boon of Combat Prowess is not available from the character builder but is in the manual feat selection.
Lance's damage die is inconsistent within the 2024 handbook, being referred to as a d10 in some sections and a d12 in others.
I didn't realize you needed the Master teir subscription for early access of my pre-order. My mistake there. However, Beyond is saying "want early access upgrade to Master Tier" - OK, fine I'll do that - however trying to update my subscription from my phone, tablet, or PC trys to force me to iTunes music. I don't have iTunes and my devices are android. What's up?
I'm not sure if it's WAI or not, but Rogue's Thieves Cant feature is listed as "You know Thieves’ Cant and one other language of your choice, which you choose from the language tables in chapter 2" (my emphasis) when browsing the class in the book under sources, however I can only select from the Standard Languages table, rather than both the Standard and Rare tables when choosing the language in the builder.

Bug: 2024 Rogue, Starting Gold

I've played every edition since 1980.
I’m old. 😂
It seems when WoTC says "Early Access" what they really mean is Beta Test.
Levels are missing for the Cleric sub-classes:

For example, War God’s Blessing, should state 6th level. Avatar of Battle should state 17th level, etc.

Please take a look at my homebrewed Spells, Magic Items, and Subclasses. Any feedback appreciated.
