New Wheelset - Normal to have to adjust setup?

So with my new wheelset the disc brakes are rubbing, the shifting seems not quite as smooth (Ultegra Di2) and the drivetrain seems louder. Is this normal?

As a note, when my bike was new, I played around a lot with the rear derailleur to quieten the drivetrain, to the point where it was actually not super smooth to go into the lowest gear (34-32) but this setup was more quiet. Over time it became easier to shift into that gear. Now with the new wheel (and new cassette and new chain) it is once again more difficult to shift into the lowest gear, however, unlike before it is quite noisy. So also considering the brake rub, it seems things aren't exactly in the same place as they were with the old wheelset.

I will have to try and play around with the setup again, but just wanted to know if this is 'normal'.
