They are not missing, not all the keys do the same thing written on them. The X novelty is q, but when pressed in combo with w it becomes esc. Same thing for meta + o, which becomes backspace.

Once you get used to the layout and combos it becomes second nature.

That actually sounds like a really good solution, did you create this?

It's a functionality integrated in VIA and QMK, you just have to set it up. This board comes pre flashed from the creator (the guy is great) with the firmware needed to make it effective and you can set combos up directly in the keyboard configurator. For my combos I took inspiration from others in the 40s community.

Is this even "40%" any more 😂 Also which community? I'm tempted to jump into under 60 territory

The 40% keyboard Discord exists, I don't know if I'm allowed to link it here. Lots of people willing to help willing to share keymaps and configurations, if you want I can share the invite in PM.
