I agree the -5/+10 mechanic for GWM and SS is OP and is best substituted for +1 str or dex respectively. I also houseruled crossbow expert does not remove disad of shooting in melee. With those 3 amendments, I have found feats work perfectly well and are great for PC customisation. I also think feats are brilliant for making your own, tailored to your PC or table. I dont allow multiclassing however, so not sure if there are OP combos with MCing.
The swap to +1str/dex is wonderful. This is what I'll do if/when I start adding houserules to my games. (I technically already play a houserule, when you are knocked unconscious and brought back you suffer 1 level of exhaustion, but it's an "official" variant from the DMG.)
