I’m not a fan of the fibre tape either, especially in corners. Have to build up more mud to cover it, and the trowel catches on it in the corners if your angle is off, causing tiny ridges. Paper is much easier to work with.
Thin, multi passes and patience make for less sanding, which is the real pain.

Outside corners are the easiest. Plain seams with non flatted drywall are the worst. Need a wideass seam for those. Need at least a 12” trowel. Stainless. I for sure will die of drywall dust lung cancer.
