Want to know what people think: is the current system as is sufficient? Or should habitability be separated, perhaps applying a production penalty distinct from happiness?

I think habitability should most of all have an effect on growth and also on migration attaction. As for happiness, I think the current limiter is a bit silly. You also don't really need to have a happiness above 50% in most cases, meaning unless you play for maximum happiness, there is little point to care about habitability unless it's below 50%.
Habitability is the Kind of Issue, Which I care at Last ...
I have my own Species, Which can colonize 3 World-Types and I need 2 additional, but different Species-POPs to colonize the 6 other World-Types ...
Happiness is one Thing, but an other Thing could be the Consum of Goods (V1.5) ...
My Species lives on a Tropical World and needs 100% Consum-Goods, whereas It would need (for Example) 120% for a Continental or Ocean One ...
You know ? - Air Conditioners, Sun-Blockers, Gas-Masks and Stuff like This to compensate an other World-Type ...
That's a Case, in Which I would care, Which Species lives on Which World.

Habitabilities Happiness Effect will get a serious upgrade with 1.5.
Pop happiness is 50% without Faction. But if it is any of your loyalist factions (the ones that fit your Ethos and is Happy from your policies), it will be more then 50%. 70-80% is possible. With many sources of bonuses beyond the base value.
The contentness builds are not longer possible. Even in a slaveholder soceity, the average non-enslaved pop is likely to be happy.
Happiness affects productivity and migration attraction. It's logical that a species wouldn't be at their happiest on a world that is hostile and uncomfortable to live on.
Technological comforts to allow for better life on those planets are represented by buildings that apply habitability boosts on a world, and new technologies that do the same empire-wide.
Honestly, sounds about right to me, so I personally have no issues with the system.
