I can only think of two things that I really would like HN to implement:
1. Dark mode
2. Two-factor authentication for better account security
Apart from that (and maybe a better API to help with third-party apps), HN is perfect. The minimal (should I say retro?) UI just adds to the charm of the site. Consider it repellent for those who aren't ready for the HN atmosphere.

Ublock Origin filters are great workaround

just update a few lines:
# Text
news.ycombinator.com##.c00:style(color: #fafafa !important)
# Inputs
news.ycombinator.com##input[type="text"], input[type="url"], textarea :style(background-color: inherit; border: 1px solid #d4d4d4; color: #000000 !important)
I'm already using Dark Reader. It'd just be nice to have an official dark theme.
