One thing I did was by some magnets and two 1.25 lb plates to help the jump from say 20 to 22.5 instead of going to 25 lbs.
Helps for isolated movements like triceps.
Otherwise, these have been perfect for me
After owning 2 sets for over ten years, it's just part of my routine to check there's nothing hanging below the selector pin as I pull them out of the stack.

One really big benefit to the PowerBlock stands that are available is the dedicated place for the internal weights that come out when you're using the PowerBlocks at 5, 15, 25, 35lbs, etc.
To me, that's worth the extra cost of the (discounted) PowerBlock stands.

I did have one plate do this so the handle portion wouldn't fit perfectly in the playe. I found a reddit tip that said they used a car jack to straighten it back out. It worked for me (I put a piece of wood between the jack and plate so it wouldn't scratch it)

They are a nice space saver and do what they say on the tin, but I find them less comfortable than dumbbells. The weight distribution during lifts is different and uneven. It is one of these things that is hard to describe online but easy to feel in-person, but in essence as you go from the bottom to the top of the movement it has a heavier side and a lighter side, and you feel that as you rotate. Plus a bulky physical shape, which means you need to hold it awkwardly for certain movements.
If the choice is these or nothing, then these. But I would caution that dumbbells aren't Pokemon, you don't "Gotta Catch 'Em All." Complete sets of dumbbells make sense for a gym, but not for an individual. Most people only likely need three (light, mid, and heavy which is e.g. a 15 lbs, 25 lbs, and 35 lbs for men, and 5 lbs, 10 lbs, and 20 lbs for women). If you want to narrow the three further go pick some up at Dick's or similar sports store. Three dumbbells don't take up a lot of space or cost, and if you're just starting out you're more likely to quit than upgrade.
Customer service likely expects this and was easy to get to ship a new set.

I disagree with the individual dumbbell approach though. You're correct about bulky size, perfect weight distribution, unsaid issues like clank and selection troubles. Which are minor. These are arguably the best adjustables on the market.
But for me and many others, adjustables are way preferred for a home gym. The Pros out weight the cons. I can fit 5-90 in a single spot, the overall cost for such a flexible set is less. I think you short change the weight range to fit your 3 pairs goal. One set of dumbbells that can go heavy at 5lb increments can be a person's entire free weight requirements. If you're lifting weights for strength, then 70lb combine for exercises like bench press is a bit light for the average male.
I think if you're in the market for dumbbells and want to progress your fitness, it's good to have this flexibility and plan ahead a bit for max lift progression. The average person who buys equipment they never use or never progresses much with is a bad goal target. Our culture actually sucks on setting acceptable fitness goals.
