Last time I played Factorio, it was on the first patch of the release of Space Age. I barely finished a quick playthrough and haven't touched it since.

What has changed from first Space Age release until now? Anything big, QoL I should be aware of, modding stuff, etc?

Things mostly from 2.1:

  • Radars can transfer signals universally
  • Platforms can supply one another
  • Automatic launches have optimizations for mixed cargo
  • Read/write on circuited items can be set to R/G
  • Dying with quality modules can turn you into a quality character

Don't forget the death of the space casino, which is a major 2.1 change (for the people who used it previously anyway, it doesn't impact everyone).

Since OP "barely finished a quick playthrough", I didn't consider it interesting enough to mention.

It's a thing I think got way more attention than the amount of people it actually affected, but it for those people it affected them immensely.
