What's the consensus on VGtM Kobold Druids? I.e., does Pack Tactics carry over (since it is a benefit, and the wild shape is not physically prevented from doing it), and does Sunlight Sensitivity not carry over (since it is not a benefit)?

Rule of thumb is physical benefits don't carry over. Likewise, neither should weaknesses.
A Kobolian Moon Druid should no more suffer Sunlight Sensitivity in animal form than a Half-Elf benefit from Darkvision.

Pack Tactics isn't something physical, so I'd say you can use it, but ask your DM.

Sunlight Sensitivity isn't a special sense, so it doesn't get replaced--it carries over. Ditto Pack Tactics.

On the contrary, Sunlight Sensitivity is clearly tied into the sense, and so gets replaced.

I would allow pack tactics and remove sunlight sensitivity. That's the recompense you get for having to be a kobold most of the time.

Although I'd add no mechnical downsides with being a kobold, it would be a frequent topic of conversation amongst NPCs.
