I would prefer if they reused existing mechanics in interesting ways instead of introducing new rules with every expansion.   The game is very non-beginner friendly now due to the abundance of rules introduced with each expansion.

I recommend not playing full random with everything if you're teaching the game!

Definitely second this. As someone who has personally introduced Dominion to 10-15+ people, nothing kills interest faster than making new players learn Exile, Debt, Duration, Coffers, etc. while they’re still grappling with why you need a Village to play two Smithies in a turn. Start with Base and sprinkle in new sets/mechanics one at a time.

I much prefer to play at least the first game or two irl when teaching a new player. But the new card pools/levels in the web version are really great for “leveling” up your newbie friends’ experience. My buddy and I will knock it down to about level 6 when playing with our wives :D. (Though I still really miss the old Familiar Cards settings. They were great for tracking which cards from a new set I hadn’t had much/any playtime with yet, as well as customizing how many new ones show up each game.)
