This! I find the premix buckets are always too thick, even after working it a bit. I always thin it and go for more passes. Thinner coats dry faster as well.
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.
