I actually think this is part of the problem. Same problem most of the newer star trek was facing as well. When you dump this much money into production and writing, you wind up with a kitchen jammed straight full of chefs who hate each other. It's the whole designing a horse by committee and getting a camel story.
Too many visions and paths synthesize together into meaningless garbage full of tropes and reactions. Want to annoy yourself? 90% of recent shows is just cuts between various facial reactions of characters. I pointed this out to my wife while we watched the recent season of umbrella academy and it straight up ruined the rest of the season for us as we laughed each time it happened.
