Suggestion: Player Token HP and char sheet HP are not connected by default. Lost HP is not shown correctly when char sheet is opened. This is ok for npc, but can it be different by default for player chars?

If I am understanding you correctly this is a foundry behavior. By default tokens are not linked to the prototype actor, but requires that someone checks the box manually to link (see the diagram above). This means all tokens are about the same actor vs creating a new one when dragged. I think I do have the code to link by default for an actor type (eg characters could come linked by default) -- this is what factions do. I hesitated doing this on actors as it changes a core behavior and might go against what someone expects.
IMO, there are a few things to take from this:
PC tokens should be tied to the actor directly
So if we have a token on multiple scenes tied to a PC actor this stat changes carry over. This is how most tables I've ever used work and is pretty intuitive.
Default Tokens should have Health as a bar
PC tokens should have effort too.
NPC tokens shouldn't have their health affect the Actor they are generated from.
