So I played a few 100 years with RD, all the rules at Default except for Sunset, Great Plague and Mongol invasion - all random.
If I started a new game I think I would set the epidemics to more rare, I find its "oh here we go again, epidemic coming my way". It feels like a familiar grind after a while and its very easy to get craven from it (Lunatic actually helps in that event).
Hospitals are super expensive. I can't identify with the people who say your ruler not living very long, if you always go into seclusion and have a good physician you can live quite long even without taking + health foci.
Overall the death rate is higher, but it most seems to be affecting the AI who is not as smart about disease prevention. You do need to have more extra family members around to make sure your dynasty does not die out. On the other hand the game is in a way easier since its easier to just let yourself or that imbecile heir die from a disease.
The christian physician events need to be toned down a bit, it causes too early religious conversions. The same with the immortality event chain, it should be super rare. Missing limbs should also be a bit rarer.
Some people talked about how elective monarchy spread has been fixed. At least not in my game. Several major realms turned elective and I was called into the 6th Francian civil war for Elective monarchy.
One thing which is immersion break as heck is that for certain mild illness you can get an excellent treatment which makes you better of on net than without illness. The treatment should never do more than remove the negative effects of illness.
Overall illness should maybe be a bit rarer, and cancer should not be very common before old age, its just immersion breaking.
