Xbox Series S player and wheel user here, I think AI are fine as they are now: not possible to always outbrake them like previous iterations and AI human errors like lockups that help provide a good single player experience in comparison to the boring AI on rails of previous years.
Their traction is too OP out of some corners like Miami last long straight and not penalised by cold tyres on the outlaps as much as we humans are though
I am also a wheel user and always use cockpit view with halo column. So my perspective is limited to what I can see from that position.
I also appreciate these little human errors like lockups or drifts when early on power, gives me chance to overtake.
And race is not boring, like you mentioned, in previous years when AI stuck to race line and didn't budge.
