I think you're talking about the following behavior.

  * a
  <point>foo

With org-adapt-indentation at nil (or the new headline-data value), foo
doesn't get indented.  This behavior is not new to 9.4.  If you try with
9.3.8 and org-adapt-indentation is set to nil, it also will not indent.
Step through org--get-expected-indentation to see how the different
values of org-adapt-indentation are handled.

So, if I'm reading your preferences correctly, it sounds like you want
just the first suggestion in the above snippet, leaving
org-adapt-indentation at its default value:

  (add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda () (electric-indent-local-mode -1)))
