@olibrendel The feasibility of preregistration differs by field and topic, for sure. At least in psychology, there is a broad consensus that deviations from preregistration are not necessarily a down-side of a paper. They are actually quite common and there often are good reasons to deviate. But the deviations need to be transparently reported. Readers then can make a judgment and evaluate the strength of evidence / risk of bias. (in contrast to non-prereg without disclosure of deviations, where everything looks „perfect“).
