Here's my guesses (none tested) about each item you list. Of course,
these particular may or may not be the cause of your troubles (whatever
they are).

AFAICT, this one is already disabled by default (i.e.,
minibuffer-beginning-of-buffer-movement is nil by default).

You'd have to evaluate the old lisp code of y-or-n-p.

'y-or-n-p' now uses the minibuffer to read 'y' or 'n' answer (bug#38076)

You'd have to evaluate the old lisp of files--ask-user-about-large-file
and hack-local-variables-confirm.
