I think the delay is less about them "overhauling it" and more about them straight up not having the ability, budget, desire, or resources to fix it.
Aim assist is table stakes for controller FPSes, whether they're on console or PC. To release a game with broken aim assist and then to not have it fixed in the first big patch should be embarrassing to them, especially with the game having crossplay with M+KB users.
I think DICE is screwed with the new version of the Frostbite engine. They can't get it optimized and it's causing issues across the board.
At this point I'd be OK with them just enabling M+KB support for console players, but I'm sure that would just complicate things even further.
It's a frustrating time being a Battlefield player right now.

@Slink_FSU that was something I wish we had the option to do to, using M+KB would have been great, but I agree I think it's too late for that.
As for the engine, we'll see how it turns out, but it's looking very shaky right now at best.
And I also agree that a lack of resources has a lot to do with the lack of aim assist as it makes little sense that it's so blatantly absent in this game, but perfectly fine in BF1 and BF5.
