I'm aiming at providing a little bit of both worlds; all your controller bindings are always visible, but in a way that's not taking up the entire screen and (ideally) only uses icons and short text strings.

You're right about the bindings being overwhelming for someone new to controllers in a game like this. I'd say that any new hardware changes are going to be overwhelming, at first. Multi-button MMO-mice and gamepads also take time for adjustment. Anything you can do to alleviate that is always appreciated (e.g. your ability to show all the buttons and their modified counterparts together, as you are here).

I agree that looks significantly more balanced and less chaotic, with the modified ones on the bottom, as opposed to the side!

Even without the bags and such, and if the petbar were in that spot, your extension would still look like a lot less, imo. Even if you're not happy with the look yet, it is certainly less overwhelming than the default UI and normal bars, for sure.
