I'm holding out for it, but I am curious at the noise levels. The Bronco is already a flat faced beast, so I'm expecting quite a lot of wind noise.

I'm also curious to see what's the noise levels are like but it's definitely not a deal-breaker for me. I haven't really owned any luxury vehicles that were heavily insulated for sound. My old work truck was a rag-top wrangler and I would say the nicest vehicle I've had is my current 2018 VW Tiguan which has a roof made out of aluminum foil - when raindrops hit it, it sounds like a golf ball is impacting the roof at terminal velocity. But I'm all for function over eardrums.

Anything but the very lightest roof top tents plus 2 relatively small people is going to exceed the load ratings for the factory rails and top. There's probably a better than average chance that Rhino will offer their Backbone system for the Bronco like they do the Wrangler (at least for the 4-door) which reinforces the top from inside for a more respectable capacity. I emailed them awhile back but they weren't ready to commit to it then. The other options are the exoskeleton type racks that mount to the body/bumpers.
