At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, any mechanic designed around providing characters magic items at their discretion in a system not balanced around magic items seems broken by default.
At least they preserved the DM having veto power... They probably should just do what Pathfinder does and develop actual numbers to associate with the power level of different magic items.
Ehh despite their claims, I think 5e was always built around having magic items.
