These features will more than likely stay with the “newer” products. The 5+ series is over a year old, so just expect bug fixes right now.

Many of those features are likely tied to firstbeat licensing which would prevent Garmin from doing the upgrade to older platforms without additional cost. No one can say for sure what Garmin will do, but none of those features have made it into any of the beta software for the current 5+ series devices. On my MARQ the only one i'd really miss is what you term load training goal. I think this is referring to how each run fills a bucket of anaerobic, high aerobic, or low aerobic load. Even this feature could be massively improved. It only really displays the primary benefit of a given effort, but many runs have a secondary benefit. For instance, if i run 30 to 40 minutes in HR zone 2 and then roll into 10x 1 minute speed intervals. I'll get an Anaerobic load increase. However, a ton of this run was actually improving low aerobic adaption. Hopefully Garmin works with firstbeat to improve that feature as it isn't quite as useful as it could be. The rest, i wouldn't miss much.
