The PCs haven't to be as the rest of their communities. Most of halflings would rather a peaceful life, like the ordinary humans, but sometimes a halfling has to become an explorer or even an adventurer because she needs a lot of money for her family, because her mothe is sick and the special medicines are too expensive. Or her family is a group of refugees whose original home was attaced by raiders and slave-trafficers.
If it was necessary the halflings would built walls for their hobbittown with more traps than the killboxes from the videogames "Orcs must die" or "Fortnite: Save the World".
There was a subrace of evil halflings, the jerrens from 3rd Tome of Vile Darkness, and even the rest of the evil humanoids had got good reasons to be afraid of them.
Halflings can be fun characters if the author makes a good work, for example something like Tiny Tina, the crazy babe from Borderlands.
Halflings are good for rogues and other stealth classes, but not so optimal to be spellcasters or warriors with no-light armors.
When Hasbro chose to produce a reboot of My Little Poney they couldn't know if it would be a flop or a smash-hit. It was the second. The trolls movies by Dreamworks have been true blockbusters. If Hasbro hires the right people to produce a chidren-friendly cartoon about gnomes and halflings as adventurers it may become a new smash-hit.
Maybe in a future sourcebook the racial traits for gnomes can be replaced by a special bloodline allowing being optimal PCs as digimon-trainers or monster riders. Or a bloodline with psionic powers and telepathic links to be a ogre-rider as Ferra+Torr from Mortal Kombat X.
