I just start over with a new world and character. It is the best way to see all the changes to the game.

They reportedly removed the spiderwebs and tangle of trees. Not sure what it looks like now or just empty like the ashlands or far north.

I think if I loaded this save up now it wouldn't have the webs in the gob village. Not sure, have not loaded an old save at all.
