Very interesting! Although I would rather have seen some of the table of contents concerning the Bestiary, this is quite intriguing as well!
One thing that strikes me as odd is the inclusion of the chapter on Halflings and Gnomes. Can someone explain how does it fit into a book about great conflicts? I didn't think those two were part of any.

Do we even need any others.
Mezzoloth, Dergholoth, Canoloth, Marraenoloth, Piscoloth, Yagnoloth are pretty much all we need for the Lesser Yugoloths. (I say just boot the Hydroloth, We have enough Frog/Toad Monsters in the game and the Hezrou already fills the role of a fiendish one.)
We already have the Nycaloth, Arcanaloth and Ultroloth so the only greater we are missing is the Baernaloth which does not appear to be in this book. Though I would like a Greater Ultroloth stronger then the standard one in the monster manual maybe around CR 18, to show how Ultroloths vary in power, from slightly stronger then the other greater Yugoloths, to rivals to Pit Fiends and Balors.
An Altraloth like Anthraxus would be cool too.
Don't expect too much in quantitative terms, or you'll be underwhelmed. I think people made that mistake when estimating the amount of monsters in Volo's. WotC is rather fond of cutting stuff that doesn't convince them qualitatively. And then we should probably count 20 pages of the book reserved for tables with random planar location names in multiple languages.
Most of the stuff seen in a bunch of UA articles will be there, but not all. I think somewhere they already said which elven subraces, and they don't include wild elves and winged elves.

We're finally getting Dark Halflings!
