One weird decision was to rewrite Aang's disappearance. Originally he ran away and got frozen, and no one made a huge deal of his "running away". In the new series they explicitly change it to a brief flight to just think on things. Then they leaned hard a few times in shaming him for running away, when they expressly changed that detail..

Wait didn't he also get blamed for running away in the original show? Or at least for not being there for the war?

Yeah, but:
a) He did technically run away at least, though obviously way more than he intended
b) In the original, while there was some blaming, the Netflix went much harder on berating him. Basically Netflix took the angst dial and cranked it up across the board for as much as possible. Which is the general trend of a lot of shows lately, which disappoints me broadly that everything has to be so emo.
