I just read that the novelization describes 3PO’s prequel-era memories were also restored when R2 fixes him back up.

While it’s not half as touching as it would have been to hear snippets of R2 bringing him back up to speed through telling him their story, i am in favor of implying this in an edit. But it needs to make sense and not feel wrong.

Here’s a weird idea: change 3PO’s line about the OLD Republic banning speaking Sith to the NEW Republic. (Maybe have to remove “I believe” since it’d be recent.)

Idea is that it’d make the hindrance due to recent hubris or myopia, and remove a slight implication that Palpatine being a Sith would have been in and of itself unacceptable in the days leading up to the Empire. (Like the novelization of ROTS maintaining that belonging to the religion Sith isn’t a crime.)
