I tried the beta this morning. There was no obvious way to show only the comments rated 4* and above. There are ways of seeing funny or insightful posts, but you don't get to control how many.
The new design seems less space efficient. More clicks are required to read stories (including this one).

I think I did this on the beta site by clicking on the gear icon to the left of the "funny" "insightful" etc. filters, which allowed me to select a filter level.
So there is a way to do it (or was, I don't know if it is still the case today). Not an obvious way, but a way.
I didn't see any comments at all, period. Nothing, zero. Only a form to post my own comment.
I couldn't figure out if this was because of a bug, because of my browser settings, or because I had clicked the wrong link. I didn't spend much time trying to figure it out, either - a redesign of a site which has been online for decades should be intuitive enough so that old-time users can still do the number one thing they've always done with the site, without having to wonder if the s
It took me a while to find it too. It's that little gear symbol to the right of the Insightful, Informative, Interesting, Funny tabs. You mouse-over that, then you can select your threshold. But I have a problem in that it won't stick. I have to do that on every story. Plus there's no one-line-only option like in the current interface, and while I usually like browsing at +3, I still like seeing the first line of +2 comments. I've found a lot of good comments that way.

Did you notice the little gear menu, to the right of the links for funny/insightful/etc.?
What does seem to be missing is collapsed comments - comments that are scored below a certain threshold being displayed as a single line that I can click on to expand them.
You see but you do not observe.

No plans to change in the near future.

Looks like they hid the comment threshold menu behind the cog [fontawesome.io] to the right of the Funny tab.
