I've been wanting to check out Rogue Trader now that that's out. I loved Kingmaker and Wotr from Owlcat (with the caveat that I always disable the crusade and kingmaking modes...)

Its pretty solid but... limited. You can tell just by looking at the map that they intend to fill it out with DLC over the next couple years. Which is honestly on brand for a TRPG based game especially a games workshop IP.

Is it bad that I dont consider it all that bad since expansion modules have been a thing in RPGs for decades and DLC are just a further evolution therein?

As long as the base game justifies the price I don't mind as much. I thi the practice is worse when you don't get a full story and it feels like "pay 40 dollars to see the end!"

I usually catch these on sale anyway. I'm the worst type of customer for Owlcat for sure.

Oh its fine on that front, id say it probably has a out as much content as Pillars of eternity. Though I do suspect they will give more endings in time, but that is moreso owlcat being full of perfectionists than anything else.
