Just to add ... I suspect the devs made the options available to tick for hiding certain items so that if flowers were planted behind small trees, people could get to them ... or plant them there. I think many, if not most, have realised that this allows trees/facilities etc to be planted where crops are if the crops are hidden. I don't know if this is contrary to the "no stacking/layering" policy, or if that applies only to crops. Either way, at least for me and some others, that has effectively ended. And that is what will drive people (customers) away.
Having redone my quest farm, I can live with it ... and really don't want to leave, and this isn't going to make me leave. I'll be planting long term crops for a while, and then if there is no fix, redesign my farms so one farm has only flowers, another only trees (I'm not into the nice-looking decoration thing - I always ended up squeezing in a few fields between mansions to get that extra crop!)
Addition/edit: I notice now that I cannot easily load the farms of those with many facilities on the farm used to advertise work. E.g. one with 75 facilities - it hangs at 6% saying that it's loading facilities. I used to be able to avoid that by hiding all the facilities before I went around helping.
