This update seems to have taken away customization features. So now I just have to have the same lock screen and home screen background? There’s no way to have 2 separate images anymore? Also I have my phone in darkmode so now I just have to deal with the ugly black thumbnails for the app? I can’t revert them to normal colors while keeping dark mode?

No. Just customise the Lock Screen as usual, and when you see the two screens (the Lock Screen and Home Screen with darkened squares for the app icons), tap the Home Screen one, and at the bottom tap "Photo".

Yes, I think you can. Customise the Home Screen by holding a finger down in a space on the screen, then in the top left tap "Edit" then "Customize". In the panel that appears at the bottom of the screen choose "Light", then press the little sun icon in the top left of that panel. That will change the background to dark, but leave the icons light.
Does that work for you?
By the way, these are the Developer Forums where third party developers of apps for Apple;s operating systems talk about code and ask for help on how to write some code. This isn't the place for product support questions. For that, go to the Apple Support Forums. Thanks.
