The listed benefits are OK, but generic and not particularly interesting.

I am not sure what I expected to come out of the new faction/renown rules, but this isn't it.

Suspensions. Attacking a PC with OUT both consent of Player and Dm. DM's whim like hostile behavior to higher ranking faction member, crimes against faction members. Penalty PC level/2 = number adventure/chapters benefit is unavailable.
Short term suspension 1 chapter/adventure some citizen narced on you in waterdeep, guilty of crime, Dm's whim.

Wait, so joining a faction replaces your background feature benefit? When did that happen?

It happened at the beginning of Season 8. In order to be part of a faction a character has to have the Faction Agent background or replace the feature of their current background with the Safe Haven feature. Existing characters have the option to switch to the Faction Agent feature and remain in their faction. If the character maintains the current background and feature, then they are no longer part of a faction (and their renown count resets to 0).

Yeah honestly this really messed things up. Safe Haven should just be a bonus background feature in addition to your regular one. And that goes double for Ravnica. Factionband background should have been separate things from the word go. The current situation is an unbalanced mess.
