How does the personal culture and religion of rulers & advisers, new as of this latest patch, affect gameplay? Is it just events or are there stats or implications for the wider state religion or culture?

It mainly affects events and the promote advisor feature.
It shouldn't affect the stats if I'm not mistaken

you can get unrest penalties in provinces of your primary culture if the ruler is not of that culture. i imagine there's a similar effect for religion, but i haven't experienced it so i can't be sure.
advisors, as far as i'm aware, just have flavour events based on religion/culture

Also they can't be promoted if they're not an accepted culture. I'm uncertain about religion on that one, but culture I'm certain of.
The pretty straightforward example would be Poland, which more than often ruled by foreign ruler due to Elective (shitty) Monarchy :
In my game, the throne only claimed by 2 of my allies either by von Habsburg or Lancaster and thus it is always chaos in the first 10 years due to event :
Foreign ruler -> +5 unrest in the Polish provinces and/or Protestant provinces in the Commonwealth, (yes, I flipped to Protestant) due to Austria and England stayed Catholic the whole game.
And then there is the decision I believe the name is "Time for Protestant King/Emperor?" , when you took 2 stab hit but allowed your ruler (and also your heir) to change the religion to Protestant and cancels out the +5 unrest. The Religion and title are tied to your status and your state religion, so no special condition.
