Out of date, not sure - I think it does have a bit of a mid-2010's vibe to it. The main menu definitely looks dated, maybe due to the file/edit/view headings, compared to other browsers trying to save clicks and having more showing on the first click. Context menu to a slightly lesser degree. Not sure the update has really helped with that though.
In terms of the rest of the UI, it's definitely functional. Not really sure what else can be done, there's only so many ways to interact with a program. Finding places to put an extra button for a feature doesn't give you that many options unless you want to completely change the browser UX... like what Arc is doing.

I agree that Vivaldi is cluttered, very cluttered,
Maybe if you enable every bar, button, sidebar etc. I would imagine most people would click the right option during install for their use case so the browser works best for them and it doesn't overwhelm them with options.

Its wide range of features is what makes it attractive, and there is a long list of over 5,000 feature requests, so at least some users clearly want more.
Yes, but thankfully a bunch of those options won't be a new button, bar or sidebar. A new option in settings that should be a case of enable/disable and then forget about it.

it feels like there's too much happening at the same time.
I think you need to look at what you have enabled/displayed and decide if you actually need them. If it's something that doesn't get used, hide it. That said, i agree, the trash/sync buttons always bugged me, felt very out of place. But as mentioned, where else could they go? They're tab related, so tab bar makes the most sense, but maybe a dropdown?
I'd be curious to know your ideas on what, how you would change things.
