"...but I think 100 block patterns are too overwhelming."

IMHO there cannot be enough well-designe) patterns, they just have to use categories (hero, testimonials, call-to-action etc.) and a nice user interface where previews of all patterns belonging to a selected category are shown.
They just have to give up that single narrow column where you have to scroll through every single one of these patterns. That's not very practical and could be easily changed to a UI where you can preview many patterns of a selected category at a glance - like it is handled by some page builders.
That way it wouldn't be overwhelming at all. :)

Love your blog posts on the development of the Gutenberg editor with all its facets. After having decided recently to go with the GBE, WP Tavern has become a much appreciated go-to place for Gutenberg related news.
