It will be of interest to note whether the BEA's Human Factors Group report is included in the Final as an Appendix in its entirety, or if the BEA chooses to selectively use its contents as a means of 'backing' the recommendations it (BEA) presents.

The issue of back-driving the SS will be contentious as demonstrated by content in these threads. So the SS position on the PFDs when the A/P disconnects seems the only option, though it will add to the 'scan clutter' and has received a number of vetoes in these threads.

All the other issues, including CRM, training and handling skills have been dissected in great detail here, and as far as I'm concerned the professional abilities of those involved in this accident leave a lot to be desired. Where the blame will be "sheeted home" will primarily be with the airline, though one has to ask, "What part did the Regulator have in this lackadaisical environment ?"
