Stat traits should remain, and if they do go, then it would be best to raise the Stats Per Level and change Well Fed's effect to something else. Likely a very small amount of HP/FP regen.

I went ahead and compiled a list of build samples that would assume stat traits are entirely gone, just to give an idea of the dark path the meta is going to take. As in, it'll become more disheartening. Right click and choose open image in a new tab to see the full screenshot, if the preview is too small!

BASIC:

Note: These don't assume any pre-set modifiers, only the stamps you can obtain in the game at the moment. No stat traits or Exceptional Health / Will.

BK/DH:


Monk/Hexer:


Ghost/Kensei:


Kensei/VA:

OPTIMIZED (featuring your best friend Fugu Katsu):

Note: This is also without traits, and assumes the character has all the Legend Aspects. No Exceptional Health / Will.

Most of these factor in Hikari's Blessing (2 WIL 2 FAI)
Most of these also account for all the stat stamps currently in game.

BK/DH


STR weapon main-hand
Boneheart Dragon King Armor
Geoheart Beldam Aegis (4 DEF total) (6 FP upgrade)
Any shoes (6 HP upgrade)
Any accessory
Any secondary accessory

6 DEF from Iron Wall (BK innate)
75 HP from Fortitude (Soldier innate)
2 all stats from Well Fed LV2 (Fugu Katsu)


Monk/Hexer


Magical Comet main-hand
Giant Gene Torso (anything)
Fireheart Dragon King Glove (6 FP)
Any shoes (6 HP)
High Mage's Cape
Dragon King Helmet

3 DEF RES Hexer stat innate
3 SKI CEL Monk stat innate
4 STR WIL Nerhaven
4 STR WIL Woki
10 DEF Astral Belt
2 all stats from Well Fed LV2

10% more HP from Hexer's Endurance.


Ghost/Kensei with a STR weapon


STR Katana main-hand
Giant Gene Torso (anything)
Fireheart Dragon King Glove (6 FP)
Ogata's Waraji (6 HP) (2 CEL)
Cat Mask (2 CEL 2 LUC)
Lucky Amulet (3 LUC)

5 RES Ghost stat innate
48 HP Ghost Pain Tolerance innate
3 STR 3 SKI Kensei Peerless innate


Kensei/Void Assasin with a Non-STR Dagger (or katana)


Any Dagger that doesn't use STR
Giant Gene Torso (anything)
Iceheart Chimera Bands (6 FP) (1 all stats)
Ogata's Waraji (6 HP) (2 CEL)
Cat Mask (2 CEL 2 LUC)
Lucky Amulet (3 LUC)

3 STR SKI Kensei Peerless innate
3 SKI RES Void Assasin Black and Blue innate
2 all stats Well Fed LV2 (Fugu Katsu)

This setup can also get +6 or +9 SKI/CEL from Eastern Wind right off the bat.

As you can see, completely focusing into stacking your stats with the help of Fugu Katsu and several items that provide them would become a primary focus, in a Sigrogana Legend 2 without stat traits or a modified SPL. It would essentially make it mandatory for both PVP and PVE, if you want your character to be competent.
