So there was no way for individual servers (chat rooms?) to disable the anti cheat and let people "steal" models and potentially crash other users, but also benefit from the variety involved with mods?

Even if that was somehow possible, it would be infeasible to implement and wouldn't solve any problems. The best solution would have been to implement mod features natively first, and then implement EAC. That's the consensus of me, my friends, and the people I saw talking about it on twitter. Most people who supported the move without nuance were streamers who didn't understand that most mods were not malicious and were just happy they wouldn't get crashed or ripped in public lobbies anymore (which the update didn't actually stop).
