Just want to say I totally support the inclusion of these ruins, I just feel they shouldn't be accessible on day 1, or be so common. There is a dry stone block that looks like it should stop anyone without a pickaxe entering, yet the door next to it is easily removed with just your hands, gaining you entry.
I created my world with pretty default Wilderness Survival settings (1.22 seems really easy, so I've shifted from Standard to WS), the only difference was an increase in water coverage. No mods, this is purely vanilla.
I spawned in a warm climate, and was placed in a desert(ish), so I ran about 800 blocks to reach some dirt. Getting there I noticed a trader in the distance (shown top left on the map image). I ran there on my first day passing not just one, but two of these new dungeon ruins.
I won't show screenshots of inside, don't want to post spoilers, but the loot you can get from it is amazeballs, certainly for day one. I've listed all the easily looted items (no glue was needed, all ruined items would need glue) but here is the list..

There's some stuff that is pretty meh but there are some key early game items such as the bowls, crocks and cooking pots, barrels, storage vessels, charcoal, fire clay, rusty gear, etc..
This was from just one of these ruins, I have another one right next to it, so what I've listed is only half of what I will end up with.
As I said at the start, I like the addition of these, and presumably the dynamic dungeons, but just now they are loot pits that progress your game massively from day 1.
I'd rather the ruins were unavailable at all other than "buying the key" to open the door from the traders.
