(And reverse, a setting with no prehistoric animals is highly limiting to high level druids.) It also means the DM must be careful about what books he is using not only for PC options, but for DM options (if the DM is using Tomb of Annihilation for example, the druid gets a bunch of new options he wouldn't necessarily have if the DM was running Curse of Stahd).Fwiw: conjure spells run the same problem. And those have been phased out for summons that have fixed stat blocks as well.</blockquote>
