Regarding a workaround, I ended up creating a symlink /usr/local/bin/sh

Why? Why not simply chsh to /bin/bash if that's what you want as your
interactive shell?
Are you somehow relying on bash's disabling of certain features when
invoked as "sh", in interactive mode? I don't understand that at all.
Yes. POSIX-compliance is a feature to me. I'd actually be fine with
using dash itself but the lack of command line editing and filename
completion is a deal-breaker to me.
