I’ve noticed with Thunderbolts* that what separates memorable MCU projects from forgettable ones is meaningful character development and clear themes at the center of the story. Even though I have problems with No Way Home, for instance, Peter had to bear the weight of his grief for the whole third act, not to mention his sacrifice at the end. Doctor Strange 2, meanwhile, just felt like a movie for the sake of a movie, setting up the multiverse saga while, as you said, destroying Wanda’s character and severely underutilizing Strange himself. Hopefully Thunderbolts is a sign of better things to come!
