40 second load times for the large hubs and 10-20 for smaller areas is hardly a game breaker. It's not like you are going back and forth a lot, usually you'll be in an area for a long time, side quests do have a little bit of loading and going back and forth but compared to something like the witcher 1 which loaded each little house it's a minor issue imo. I have had only like 2 crashes so far and I'm 14 hours into the game so bug wise it's also a non issue. (I have the review version, embargo lifted today)
I personally find the AI pretty capable, I think stealth games need a lot better AI than just normal shooters. They spot dead bodies, see you hiding and investigate. You don't want ot make them too smart or the game becomes too hard. The game is already pretty hard on normal if you are playing a stealth character. In a similar way to Crysis 2 people see a few flaws and say the AI is terrible, hardly true for either game
I think there are more issues with level design, mostly that the design is too conveneint. The cover mechanic is core to stealth and shooting and some areas you have this linear trail of cover spots that Jensen just moves around. There have been some really great action areas though.
