The main problem I have with the skill drop at the moment is how easy it is to die "without warning". The lack of space in your inventory currently means it's not easy to carry around potions, and normally things that are going to kill you do so by just instantly kill you as they are way stronger rather than via attrition.

And it does feel a bit much, I don't die that often, maybe once every few hours as I'm exploring the swamps, but it then feels like it takes me that full few hours to rebuild my skills to where they were again.
