I like most of them but not sure how I feel about reviewers being allowed to use LLMs

I agree — not something I am personally happy about. But decisions were made collectively, after thorough discussions.

Ah at least author consent is required

My bad: authors are required to consent to use of LLMs to review. Quote “Authors must explicitly consent to both uses as part of the submission process.”

WAIT WHAT. I read that statement very different. I read it as "authors can choose to consent or not, and must make that explicit." Not "a condition of submitting is that you consent to LLM reviews." Are you telling me the intention is the latter??

Yes it appears so. I had the same misreading…

That's my reading too.
