TLDR: It's a work in progress, and if that doesn't suit you, stay clear. For the KS generation, this is a great wip initial document.
As others have said, this is to complement and help transition content/setting from previous editions in to 5e, not to give comprehensive info on the setting.
It is also not AL legal (at this time of review) and considered playtest material, so that might turn some people off this product.
I really love the integration of the dragonmarks, its very clever to make it subraces, and the bonuses seem relevant at all levels.
I could personally have done without the copy/paste of the backgrounds from the PHB as they are unnessery, but hoping they are placeholders for future goodness.
My biggest concern when flicking through this was the missing artificer, but again rumours say that it will make an apearance later.
The new races are identical to the UA article races of Eberron, so if you cant afford to reward authors, or dont want to support this forray in to licensed WOTC PDFs, and only want the crunch you can probably skip it at this point in time.
Ive backed a lot of RPGs on Kickstarter, and this looks exactly like the nearly completed first draft of the rules you often get. A bit more content and a fine polish that comes from contact with the public is exactly what this needs.
Im looking forward to seeing what this can become.
