Scrub radius 33's vs 35's....

It's going to be pretty drastic difference between the BL "33's", and the sasquatch "35's". Not only from the tire height difference, but they have different offset wheels between them.
Why are you asking? That's a pretty technical high level discussion.

Scrub radius makes a big difference on feedback to the steering wheel from driving over rocks.. I need the least amount of feedback due to my bad elbows
Only 1" taller in height so not a lot of difference there. The offset however will make a difference

Does it matter with the power steering?
I'd measure for ya atleast what the spindle angle is, but I won't have my Bronco for months
Hard to say if stock in one config or the other is positive, neutral, or negative. FWIW a lot of people report the SAS rides and drives better so maybe it's less positive offset plays a factor in it.
But I'd say no matter what wheel feedback will be pretty minimal. Modern steering geometry, and the epas system absorbs a lot of it. Haven't heard anyone complain of bump steer yet either.
Try and get setup with a dealer fctp for a drive.

Yes. I still get a little feedback on my F-150 and it has EPAS like the bronco.
I can take my F150 up my gravel road and if I let go of the wheel I see a little movement. If I take my F350 SFA up the same road- lot's more movement.....
I had 4+3 offset on my SxS but went to 5+2. It also has electric power steering

Drive it on some rough roads and see if the feedback is manageable.

I took it down a gravel road and it felt fine- the 35's are what worry me.

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t looking for this and I don’t have an elbow issue. But the ride was really nice and smooth with the 35’s. I took it off on a dirt road at like 40mph and it was really nice.

If you have any concern at all then probably stick with the 33s. It seems that the suspension was specifically designed around the 33s so they probably provide the smoothest expirence. Is there some reason you think you need the 35s?

We drive the rocky trails in Colorado. The larger tires has many advantages
