Is there a chance that roles will be broken out at the bottom again?
Or do we have to just accept the change / move on?

Yes, the list of HITs (about 10-15 a week) are less visible on the new layout. On the other hand, there's a lot of empty space at the bottom of my schedule (where the roles used to be), as I try to only have 4-5 tasks daily. The schedule usually takes less than the top half of my screen.
Thus, it would be ideal to have them (i) split by role, and (ii) at the bottom to optimise screen real estate (and thus not have to scroll).

Here's a paper version I was using previously until I discovered the awesome Week Plan. The intent is to see everything on one screen (without scrolling, without forgetting anything). I understand the intent to prioritise the HITs better, but in any week I would have about 10-15, which makes the left pane slightly unmanageable.
This is the right layout which Week Plan closely matches. Is your problem that a long list of HITs is difficult to manage and therefore you would like them to be split by role? Or is it that you have to scroll?
As much as you can as guess, but aim to complete 100% of them most of the time. If you constantly fail at completing them all, you need to lower how many you commit to per week
Sometimes, HITs are impeded due to conditions outside of one's control--weather, dependencies on other people, etc. Nonetheless, the should still be at the top of the board, and still have a full view.

About 8-10 (considering it's Wednesday).
I have 5-6 roles and a backlog of tasks for all the roles. This is similar to how the tech team works at my startup (scrum and backlog). The old view used to allow us to see all the tasks on one screen, even things that might have dropped off the radar. The new view is usable, though the screen real-estate is not being fully optimised.
Plan of the Week is meant for the really important stuff you want to get done this week
Not meant for every tasks of the week, or as a backlog.
What if we introduce a way to see all your backlog grouped by role, a bit like a user suggested, you would have three links: "Schedule Boards Roles"
Like the Boards view, you would be able to see your Schedule on the same page as the Roles board.
We would however keep the Plan of the Week as it is.
Would that solve the contention?
