> remember that now you're supposed to be in the train 20min in advance

That is not true. They show the platform on the screens at the station 20 minutes in advance. I think they recommend being 5 minutes in advance, but they let anyone board as long as the doors are open.

you are right, they just "advise" you to be there 20 to 30 minutes early.

And they outright write that some people will get an airplane experience, and not in a free drink way.

$former_job used to pay “pro 1ère” TGV tickets. Those came with free drinks and nibbles, I quite enjoyed it. It was much better than a plane in terms of noise, stability, and legroom. No idea how much they cost though.
