Yeah, the CC stick seems to work quite well. My 2013 LC had adaptive CC as does my LX. I like it and use it every time I drive, but YMMV.

I am not sure we all understand polarization. On my wife's XC90, I cannot see the HUD with my glasses unless I tilt my head, then it comes clear.
"Only light rays that approach your eyes vertically can fit through those openings. The lenses block all the horizontal light waves bouncing off a smooth pond or a shiny car hood, for instance." In BMW's HUD settings, there is a Rotation option that can be used to adjust the HUD for Polarized sunglasses. This could be why some users can see HUD with polarized glasses.

Scrolling through the doc, it appears there is a HUD rotation option similar to those offered by other makers to adjust for polarized glasses.
Might be more effort to turn on and off than to slightly rotate your head.

It does not rotate enough to overcome my polarized glasses.
I'm at 100 miles and I have had enough highway time to mess with the cruise and driver assistance. Adaptive cruise and lane departure are actually pretty nice. the vehicle almost drives itself. Still have not used traffic jam assistance.
I have added a Thule XL cargo box which gives me more capacity. We had to modify the factory rack to fit, but overall pretty easy to do. The wind noise is actually less with the box than without.
I hope they have improved the adaptive cruise...on my older Tundra (and wife's previous Explorer) the Adaptive Cruise felt more like a liability than a convenience.
You can turn off the radar cruise so that it works as regular cruise if you prefer. I like the radar cruise on my 2020 LX. YMMV.
