We've sure come a long way and I've become a huge fan of D&D Beyond. But there is one place where I always end up pulling out a post-it note instead of using the UI: Hit points and healing pools. For me it is as clunky as all heck to record 15 points of damage or to use 21 points of healing on mobile.
I agree hp management is somewhat clunky on mobile. i.e. hitting the "return" button when manually entering numbers should automatically "apply changes" without the need to close the keyboard and press the "APPLY CHANGES on-screen button. Seems counter-intuitive.

Possibly worse is when you have a high-level Paladin with a Lay on Hands healing pool. There is no way to enter a number directly so if they heal 47 points of damage to someone, it’s 47 clicks plus another click on Confirm. Plus you can’t do the clicks rapidly on an iPad or the screen zooms.

Am I the only one feeling this?

How so? You have to click as many times as points you are healing, plus “Confirm”. It’d be great if it worked like the new hit points function.
