It’s somewhat bizarre to me that the settings menu isn’t just a reskinned control panel that either launches the new or old items depending on what they’ve finished so far.

I can’t imagine what they’ve done is easier than rewriting control panel items in full one by one.

You can do a halfway decent job of modernizing just by having an “advanced” toggle that shows the more arcane/less used settings.

I understand the desire to race towards a minimum viable product and get the core functionality into the glossy new thing, but they already had a minimum viable product in the control panel.
