Also, Safari will display web pages how they were specified by the designers of same, so you will still get bright white pages that don't really fit into Dark Mode very well. They need to rethink Dark Mode, add customizations for text color/shade and add the ability to darken bright pages and app interfaces. Otherwise I won't be able to use it much, if at all.

On iOS there is a Setting to Reduce White Point (General, Accessibility, Display Accommodations). The equivalent on macOS would be to go to Displays in System Preferences, go to the Color panel, and Calibrate... your display(s). Uncheck Use native white point and lower the ‘temperature’ as desired. Of course if you switch mode back to Light you may need to go back and turn Use native white point back on.
The other thing that is lacking is that third party apps won’t pay attention to the Appearance preference now (until now, it did not exist). And as you mention, web pages need to be thought about. I don’t think there is even any way for web page to discover which mode is enabled. Over time, it should get better, and learnings can be applied to iOS if and when Apple decides to add Dark mode to that.
