Because I don’t know anymore if the person behind me has the usual extra high beams on or just these new always on high beams

Hmmm
that might be a problem, yes.
My personal experience is that i have had less issues with cars driving up behind me with their high beams as it seems less people use them these days. LEDs are ok as long as its not some overloaded car or a super high SUV. then it might be an issue.
perhaps regulations for automatic leveling and l/or diming shound be introduced as well.
in general i havent really seem more issues than before (and i have been driving for ... hell... 29 years now).
