If you can't even learn one talent point during play without spending as much XP as will bring you from 32 to 35 points (and that's an either/or choice), that seems like a rather weird and unappealing shift, to me.
To be fair, I would guess that the number of PC's spending their first few hundred XP on IQ so that they could learn new talents was always pretty low. The new rules lead to characters who experience an initial blossoming of native abilities (stats), which then settle in at whatever they are like around 38-40, and then the long game of shaping the spells and skills they know sets in.
