An idea I had to help with the Beastmaster action economy issue without making them too powerful would be to resurrect the instinctual action rules in a 5e format. Basically this means that each companion type behaves in certain ways when it has not been given an order. This would also help to create aa flavour difference between companion types. Thoughts?

That's one way to approach the issue, But the problems with the beast master are two fold, and you're not addressing the other half of the equation. The sloppy arse method for generating the animal companion.

That's not the problem. THe problem is that they just take critters out of the Monster entires all willy nilly instead of building somethign that will work with the class form the ground up.
