So, since all that (maybe 20 minutes of elapsed time), 15 second delay from wayshrine travel command till it actually sent me to new location - not in transit delay. Just standing there looking at the wayshrine doing nothing delay. I completely powered down the PS4 and restarted. The game signed me in and launched character ok, then immediately had server timeout and removed me. Again the game refused to load a treasure and survey map into quick menus.
I'd expect some of this if I was running around in the overloaded sectors of New Life players, but I'm in the hinterlands of Western Skyrim when this was occurring.
