Hi!
Here's some info from when Breet (one of the devs) was asked about modding:
"I've looked into it, but mod support is something that a game should really be designed around from the beginning as it's very involved and deeply integrated with the game itself. So unfortunately, since this game actually launched on Steam (Early Access) 7 years ago today, and I'm the only programmer, it would be very difficult to add retroactively."
There is someone working on getting another patch out with a few balance and QOL changes, but nothing major for now while the devs work on their next game.

Hello!I know that on steam link all controllers will stop working if you disable XInput, however, this shouldn't affect your game when you aren't using steam link. That said, I actually noticed the same issue you described happening to me too in the currently available build of the game, but also thought it might be a one-off. The version I'm running with locally (a version that will be released this week) does NOT have this issue since it has a newer version of the controller library we use, so hopefully this will be resolved for you as well!Brett Read more

I'd certainly be willing to put it to a vote with the community to see what people think in general. The upside of not doing the 2-round snake draft is that it simplifies the first round which is important for new players. It could potentially be added as an "unlock" sort of like the elements are unlocked the first few times you play online.
