For me a lot of AUs need to keep what appeals to me about the canon. Like with Hobbit fic I like the contrast between Hobbits and Dwarves, physically and culturally, but it's the sort of thing I'd probably find it a little squicky if I read something where the author was trying to apply real life group stereotypes. (Yes, I know the fantasy stereotypes were born from RL ones. But fantasy =/= reality and fanfiction of fiction that was inspired by RL things is much more removed than potentially reading fic about how WASPyHuman!Tauriel finds JewishHuman!Killi's culture soooo weird compared to her own)

Same with Star Wars. I don't want an AU where everyone's humans and there's no spacemagic. But I'd be up for a more fantasy AU.

Harry Potter I like the magic, but it's not as central for me.

So yeah, basically it heavily depends on if what I like about the world is kept intact which is slightly more likely to happen with 'What if this one tiny thing changed' than 'Tony is a history professor who runs a coffee shop and Steve Rogers is the art professor who comes in every Thursday before class'
