Of late, I've been finding myself bored with the constant combat (and the level of detail) that seems to crop up in 5E. It's really been making me consider running OSE or possibly 2E to get past the combat mini-game and back to the exploration and story-telling pillars and not have my 4-hour...

Ugh. Yeah, a couple pretty major changes...I'll let the module speak for itself. Differences by module.

Just an aside, Secret of Bone Hill (and it's excellent follow-on, Assassin's Knot) isn't a Mystara adventure, it's set in the Lendore Isles in Greyhawk. Though it probably wouldn't be difficult to set it among the Minrothad Guild isles, or possibly in the Kingdom of Ierendi.

If any character starts spamming monsters, just reach for the Mob rules in the DMG, that will handle them in combat. And make the player learn them or tell them to cut it out.

It's a starter set, no question about that.

Funnily enough, my Sorcerer/Rogue manacled an opponent last session, while the Orc Monk was doing the grappling. We were in town, bringing a rival rogue to justice.

Odd, I've not seen anyone use Animal Handling in the four campaigns I've been in so far.
