Especially transmigration created far more problems than IMHO the results were worth. Just look at Avatar: The last air bender / Legend of Korra. That's seven seasons of a show that has Transmigration as a main plot point, and you could pretty much double that amount and still not be done with telling stories.

Simply put, transmigration is a complicated enough and interesting enough to solely dedicate a show to, unlike Naruto where it felt tacked on. I really like the idea of the Shinju and the background regarding Kaguya et all is really really cool, but i can't help but feel that it would've been better off as a separate series, featuring Hagoromo as the protagonist and dedicating chapters fully to it. Doing too much at the same time is what made the 4th war unnecessarily complex and convoluted.

It's why i've suggested a second timeskip before, but really there's only two choices: either extend the manga (which Kishimoto explicitly decided against) or cut the existing material to more manageable levels.

Lastly, yea the removal of risks was getting annoying. The loss of sight with the Mangekyou is really cool, but the EMS made it a power without risk. Same goes for Obito, he was able to spam his techniques with impunity. Kamui isn't nearly as overpowered as people think, it's the constant spamming that makes it so insane. The Rinnegan as well doesn't seem to have many drawbacks, as long as you have chakra you're godlike and chakra doesn't seem to be the problem for ANY rinnegan user.
