It doesn't have to be the forefront of every episode, but a gradual depletion of the crew and ship should have continued every season as the background arc to their desperate flight back home.
Instead, Voyager was not only in mint-condition every episode, but they usually outclassed every race they encountered technologically and had their way with them so the only threat they could bring back was to heavily overuse the Borg and Species 69 (or whatever it was) to bring in a sense of danger.
Even that was screwed up as those threats were so overpowered that in the in-universe canon of Star Trek, there is no way the Voyager would have survived even a mild encounter with the Borg so they end up buffing Voyager even more and giving them super powers and cheating the premise of the show by letting them use Borg tech to survive and get home. This would be like ants floating on a log learning how to operate an F-22 Raptor and fly around the world.

All that and the Chakotay-Seven of Nine love story was so screwed up. The Doctor and her had way more chemistry
