The belly button thing is a call back to season 1 where the other departments have dehumanizing rumours about the other depts. Lumon's attempt to prevent fraternization and likely rebellion. O&D said they heard MDR had pouches

I think they may have originally just thrown it in there for randomness, but for sure after the initial reception by fans, they're going to consider tailoring more content to that department. There's been a lot of speculation the goats are foreshadowing of some form of cloning type of idea.
I think they also wanted to show there's multiple departments, but also kinda point to the idea of a sort of corporate brain wash. IRL, employees at time go out and ask people in other departments/companies about their stories and then compare to see whether their experience is weird/good/bad/I gotta GTFO.

Depends on what reasoning is used. It's not the most amazing show ever created, that I'd agree. But in terms of being fresh and done well to the point I'm hooked, I'd have to say it's one of the best in the near memory.
I think the last time I ran into media similar to Severance's weird ride, would be the Death Stranding game.
