> - I use those buttons that seem to be MIA in the screen of the new Finder though (to switch between views, the sort menu, the cog icon with extra actions). Will I have to change my workflow?
No, because those icons are all still there. The cog button has become a … button, but it's the same menu.
> - I use a lot of items in the macOS sidebar. In the current Finder, my sidebar can show 12.5 items without scrolling. In the screenshots, it's showing 9. Am I going to have to alter my workflow here too?
No, just use smaller sidebar icons. System Preferences -> General.

Depends what you consider necessary. I really think Apple wants to start pushing SwiftUI and Catalyst apps.
One issue with both of these is that apps written in either make completely different looking apps for Catalina and iOS 13.
In Big Sur and iOS 14, they'll look less different, which may help adoption. A Catalyst app with no specific changes made to be a good macOS citizen looks naff on Catalina but looks acceptable on Big Sur — so this helps lower the barrier for iPadOS developers to adopt proper macOS design language.
> I sure hope Apple hasn't gotten rid of these with the introduction of the Control Center
The Control Center demo showed dragging those items out to the menu bar so that they could work just like they did before.
