I think it’s hard to make that judgement without seeing just what the original version looked like, and I doubt that we’ll actually get to see what that is. From the sounds of it, they went back to rejigger how they introduced Cassian and Jyn. Cassian’s introduction was really well done, while Jyn’s set up a bit more of an antagonistic relationship between her and the Alliance.

It could very well be that the original version was just fine, but it could also mean that it was much worse. Reading between the lines, it almost sounds as though the middle sequence on Eadu was pretty much left alone, with the Jedha and Scarif locations punched up the most.
