Unfortunately, unless I am doing something wrong, none of these

seem to really restore the previous behavior. I have set
~org-adapt-indentation~ to ~'headline-data~, and now pressing RET goes
to column 0. However, unfortunately, TAB now no longer jumps to the
indentation level of the previous block (for example, so I can insert
a
code block or other block structure into a plain list at the correct
level).
I think you're talking about the following behavior.
* a
<point>foo
With org-adapt-indentation at nil (or the new headline-data value), foo
doesn't get indented. This behavior is not new to 9.4. If you try
with
9.3.8 and org-adapt-indentation is set to nil, it also will not indent.
Step through org--get-expected-indentation to see how the different
values of org-adapt-indentation are handled.
So, if I'm reading your preferences correctly, it sounds like you want
just the first suggestion in the above snippet, leaving
org-adapt-indentation at its default value:
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda () (electric-indent-local-mode -1)))
