I do find the space battles hard to follow, but I think not just because of the limited lightning (which to be honest is pumped up already from how it would really look that far from the sun), but because the realistic physics dictates that everything is moving magnitudes faster than a bullet. there's no big slow moving photon torpedoes fired at giant stationary ships trying to broadside each other like galleons.
they can either please the core audience which is super nerds that really care about realism (guilty as charged), or they can do it Star Wars/Trek style and light it up like Las Vega Boulevard for broader appeal. but that crowd would just get bored anyways because episodes are 50 minutes dialog and 2-3 minutes of space, so might as well stick to their roots.

Always make sure to give Spacedock on Youtube a check, as he often does lots of battle breakdowns from The Expanse. Like the big one from episode 3 (spoilering the video link in case some haven't watched the episode yet):
