Have been discussing this with other players, in person and on reddit and it seems to be a commonly requested feature to be added for accessibility, specifically the deadzone options.
For console and controller users, the lack of support for adjusting the deadzone specifically, but additionally sensitivity is disappointing. For my partner and myself, we're having to attempt playing using the d-pad legacy controls since the analogue stick is so unresponsive to input, but it's incredibly uncomfortable for anything more than an hour or so.
Simple additions for deadzone and sensitivity options would be much, much welcomed for comfort, responsiveness and accessibility to all controller users.
*The video demonstrates the current default deadzone settings in-game which registers zero input until the analogue stick is moved almost entirely in one direction.
