No other ground aoes really have this issue. Most mitigation aoes are relatively light. And as for ley lines, the fact that it's smaller, levitates off the ground, and slowly spins makes it not an issue to see the ground in limited.

I was happy to see it gone, but I never really considered it from the perspective of someone who only plays in limited. Kinda makes me wish there was some sort of compromise, like how ASTs star aoe works- where the starry outline is visible in limited, but the full explosion isn't. Maybe they could've kept the outer ring of starry muse visible, while hiding the pulsing flowers.
Precise positioning is precisely why it's important to be able to see it from a PCT's perspective. Prepositioning at the edge of your starry for movement so you can step out and hammer then step back in to cast is quite useful and lets you use Starry on cd even in movement heavy situations.

I do think your suggestion for outline in Limited and full effects in All is a pretty good compromise, but I'd much rather they give us more granular control especially for personal effects. If I could hide the painting pop ups over my head I would probably be much more willing to use All Effects as I already do on other classes.
