MODERATORS
Okay some notes to add:
The accessibility focused third party apps (Dystopia for iOS, Redreader for Android, there might be more) were granted exemptions to the API pricing, so they can continue to operate after the changes. Dystopia will also soon be available on the iOS App Store (as opposed to having to use Testflight) so as a silver lining it'll be easier to access for users who need it, while Redreader is considering implementing Lemmy support.
Bots are in a weird place because most likely don't exceed the API usage rates for the free tier - RemindMe Bot for example has explicitly stated it isn't going to die with the changes, and that its usage is well under the free tier. I imagine smaller community-specific ones (like the wf subreddit ones) will similarly be far below the free tier limits.
For desktop, the mod tools extension (Toolbox) will remain in their current state, and RES expects to as well. Both projects have dwindling interest in continued development aside from basic maintenance though, certainly not helped by reddit's increased hostility to developers. Newer reddit features also aren't exposed to the api so Toolbox can't integrate them them either.
tl;dr: Some small progress in accessibility concerns, not really enough. Reddit doesn't deserve a medal for doing the bare minimum in not completely rejecting every blind user from using their service, though noting what they're doing on that front (good and bad) still matters.
Minor addition to your point for accessibility apps, they don't have access to NSFW content because they are considered a third party app. https://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/146lmu6/accessible_blindnessspecific_reddit_apps_can_use/ Profanity is enough to require a thread to be marked NSFW according to Reddit's own content policy.
I had the impression that some bots being allowed to stay is a more recent change, added after the protest started rather than being exempt initially. I remember reading a banner saying something like "bots used for moderation may be exempt from api fees" and was changed to "see how much api usage bots consume". I am going off of memory for this as I don't have screen shots of either banner and loading reddit in private does not bring back either banner message.
RES has stated they likely wouldn't be effected because they're using the authentication provided by the local user rather than OAuth. It also sounds like their API usage is very little, is significantly less than what a full 3rd party application would require to function.
I'm not a mod, and have never modded, so any information I have on that comes from reading other's posts, and sharing information. Considering how active the meta thread is though, I was fully expecting anyone seeing this to either correct any information that I got wrong or even add to parts I missed.
*Side note for Lemmy, the public modlog is an interesting feature for transparency, although it gets a little messy with other communities being shown in there. It was nice having pushshift around to see why something was removed, but now that's gone for anyone that isn't a moderator that has requested access.
