We're doing something similar, actually. My Discord is scruffygamer#7607 if you wish to join our dev team!
The true question is: Does adding excessive bloom everywhere really make the game look better, or just more bloomy? The world may never know.
Good guestion. You can change the bloom amount or disable it completely in the reshade menu. Though the most important effect this mod adds is the LUT color correction which gives the game film camera style colors with washed out blacks and stronger blues and yellows. There are a bunch of other effects as well such as eye adaptation, lens flares and sharpening.
