> * there is no clue of what the dropdown is for, what OSRM, GraphHopper, and Valhallah are

Do you think an `optgroup` with a `label` and a `title` on the `select` would be enough hints?
> * adding a short message to advertise that routing engines are used by the mapper community to ensure the points they add to the map are well connected.

This would need space, where would you put it?
> * the matching locations are not suggested while typing, which likely results in routing beeing calculated for non-expected locations (this might deserve an issue on its own)

Probably, as the Nominatim [usage policy](https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/nominatim/) prohibits autocompleting results, so that can't as easily be added.
> * The close button is a bit too close the reverse directions button and the input form

Sticky close buttons have been introduced since, maybe reusing that style could add more separation?
> * pressing the go button during a calculation seemed to break the route that was beeing processed (could not reproduce today though)
> * triggerring the calculation as soon as two locations are selected, a location is changed, the transport mode is changed, or the routing engine is changed
> * removing the go button

Maybe for the sake of having a submit button for accessibility just make it hidden, I don't know if that would need to be discussed further.
