I guess this is a very subjective question.

A number of Ada users have expressed that they would rather Ada was simpler
 whilst others desire more features.

I appreciate Ada 83 portability but also like a lot of modern Ada features.

Out of interest. Could anyone help me with what an Gnat or other compiler
 Ichbiah_2022_Mode might look like. Perhaps it might be possible to use
 pragmas to get an estimated mode of what features he might keep or drop.

I can continue research but currently I do not have the details of his
 objections to Ada 95 and how those may have continued through to today is
 perhaps a nuanced question.

What do you think Ichbiah would jettison from Ada 2022? All comments
 welcome.
