I'd note that Reliable Talent also makes advantage irrelevant, as well.
Not really. It makes it irrelevant if both rolls are under 10 (less than 1 in 4). Since your roll with advantage will be better than the 10 (typically), advantage is still good to have. With reliable talent, disadvantage is not that big a deal since your worst case scenario is still a 10.I'd note that Reliable Talent also makes advantage irrelevant, as well
Take the lower of the two rolls. If that roll is a 9 or lower, treat it as a 10. That seems fine to me.
So, I was thinking of making the minimum 5 when there is disadvantage. I think that is a decent compromise.
I would be fine with that as well. Advantage averages about 13 or so IIRC on the d20, this would make reliable talent help still with advantage since otherwise it is not likely to be a factor.I'd only do that if also giving a minimum of 15 on a roll with advantage.
Interesting quirk of the system: Reliable Talent does not affect passive scores.

I didn't think about the advantage side of it, and I think that would be a great compromise:

By 11th level, you have refined your chosen skills until they approach perfection. Whenever you make an ability check that lets you add your proficiency bonus, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10. If you have disadvantage on the check, treat a result of 4 or lower as 5. If you have advantage on the check, treat a result of 14 or lower as 15.
