Something else I'd like to add is that multiblock previews have a hard limit of 180 degrees for vertical rotation. It looked like this was intentional, but is it possible to safely remove this limit, or was there a reason for it to be locked?

There are two common camera controllers for 3D scenes, trackball and orbit. If I understand you correctly, you mean the first one. i prefer the second one and implement it. I think it's easier to find directions. of cause, if you're more of a trackball type, can also implement it in the first way, it's not that hard to do.
After doing some thinking, I think I prefer the way the preview rotation works as is. It's definitely more intuitive and I can see why that full 360 degree rotation can be hard to navigate. So I'd say to leave it as how it is right now.
This is a list of a couple issues that I noticed with the Multiblock preview screens after they were reworked
There is now a maximum zoom out limit This limit did not exist before, and is too small for some of the larger multiblocks like the Fusion Reactor, as you can no longer fit the entire multiblock structure in the window any more.
Previews start at the maximum zoom level Instead of being started at a defined "default zoom" level, which was often defined to have the entire multiblock in sight, but nothing much else, all multiblocks start at the maximum zoom limit, which requires zooming in to see structure components or for closer inspection of the structure.
Right mouse button will also zoom structure preview Even though the structure preview was changed to use the mouse wheel to zoom in/out of the structure preview, holding the right mouse button and moving the mouse in/out will also still zoom the preview
White highlighting over selected blocks Unlike previously, where blocks would have a clear highlighting layer when selected, blocks now have a white highlighting layer, which obstructs the view of the block, making the player reliant on the tooltip to show what the block actually is, instead of being able to visually see what the block is. See:
The highlight layer sometimes renders incorrectly over the block. This is noticable especially because of the previously mentioned bullet, but sometimes the background block renders through the highlight layer. See:
Additionally, when the preview is on this minimum zoom state, using the right mouse button to attempt to zoom out will not work, and instead cause a lot of flickering
Block tooltips render as well as info when hovering over info icon. When hovering over the info icon, if there is a block in the background, the tooltip for the block will also be rendered. See:
Info icon needs to be updated Minor thing, but the info icon information needs to be updated now that it is incorrect
Cannot zoom preview when scrolling through categories You cannot zoom in/out of multiblock previews when scrolling through the multiblock preview category. Scrolling the mouse wheel will instead move to the next/previous multiblock preview.
Controllers are rendered full bright in the components section This may have something to do with the changes introduced by @DStrand1 but the controllers are being rendered Fullbright in the components list versus in JEI. The controllers stop being rendered Fullbright when mousing over the info icon however. See:
Weird seam on the corner of a block Not quite sure what is causing this one, I was not hovering over anything at the time And on another structure:
Something similar happened for the steam grinder, at the default multiblock preview: Around the controller texture something similar can be seen.
In addition to this issue, the tier is not reset when scrolling through the multiblock preview category. I opened up the preview for the assembly line (just the assembly line, not the category), expanded it to its maximum tier, clicked on the title "Multiblock Pattern" to bring up the multiblock preview category, scrolled through the category until I got to the assembly line, and it was still at its maximum tier, instead of at default tier like I would expect after closing the window where I expanded the structure to maximum tier.
These are some issues I noticed with the multiblock preview renders after the rework.
