Auto Trim and Auto Lock modes are not working at all.
I am attaching screenshots where the automatic modes are enabled and the settings are specified. But in reality they are not applied at all.

Process: Text to Segments just splits the letters

After you split the text into segments, all letters with dots and diacritical marks become combined objects. You need to break them apart either by clicking the button on the toolbar or by using the Ctrl+K keyboard shortcut.
After that, in Sequence View, you will see two separate objects, to which you can apply trimming and set a lock stitch.

DG12 used to give me the actual segments, and not just the individual letters as whole pieces, I don't know where that changed between DG12 then and DG16 now. My goal was to delete individual stitches between the letter "i" and it's dot, that are hardcoded into the font. Every time I delete them, they just regenerate. My clients can see those stitches and they consider it a low quality embroidery. Because of that, for enough of my customers, this eliminates many fonts as options.

Clarification!
Smart Join Mode, Auto Trim Mode, and Auto Lock Mode do work on their own with Standard Digitizing tools.
However, they do not work if a segment has been converted into one of the stitch fill types such as Satin Path, Complex Fill, etc.
I assume that this automatic mode was simply not designed to work when segments are converted.
But in reality, this is very illogical.
When I receive a vector file from a client, I don’t digitize it completely from scratch.
I take the vector artwork and convert its elements into the stitch types I need.
Why can’t this automatic mode work in this case if the elements are set in the correct sequence?
Why does it only work when digitizing from a raster image, but becomes useless with vector-based work?
In my opinion, this is very strange.

The first part of the question is not entirely clear to me. I also started with version 12, but it was so long ago that I do not remember anything. Perhaps you could provide more details on what was meant.
If you mean drawing modes, they have not gone anywhere. You can download the Quick Reference Card from the official website where all program shortcuts are listed. The Drawing Modes section will show all available drawing types. Personally, I use quickdraw almost 100% of the time.

The second part of the question. I remember that just like you, I faced the unfamiliarity of the new interface and wanted to change it back. Now, I have gotten used to the ribbon and use only that, and the old view has become unfamiliar and even inconvenient. But at that time, it did not seem so to me. To return to the old interface display, you need to uncheck these checkboxes.

In DGML 12, on the bottom there used to be 5-6 letters, say with Satin stich, that you would press the corresponding letter B for Bezier(?) to be able to use the tools better. With 16 I don't see them at all. Is there a way to bring them back?
Also, for other tools like the Fonts, or Machine queue tools. Is there a way to expand them permanently without having to hard press them to see the options or press the small arrow?
Edit: Ok, so I found the tool guide on the right side, but there used to be a way to just see the letters on the bottom without that whole descriptions, is that not an option anymore?
