How the hell are you going to make a large lego city without baseplates? I think it's a basic element, it would be a bad joke if they remove them....
I think the biggest problem is the thickness, I'm not saying that baseplates are not necessary but the thickness problem is a bit annoying especially for combining buildings/sidewalks... and so on
Yes, that disadvantage is what at the same time makes the baseplates much cheaper, they use less material compared to the new lego city roads. I don't have the data but they probably use almost twice as much or more material...
I think the same, the thickness is an annoying issue with modular buildings.
