Totally agreed, this entire scenario feels very much based on M1 design, illogical design elements and all, which makes sense given that it was originally a scenario for M1 and then was later "ported" to M2.
And yes, the transparent liquid is invaluable when trying to find that ledge – I first learned it existed because of Weland, but it's far more visible in-game than it would've been 21 years ago, all because the real liquid is see-through.
