Agreed. It was better than most alternatives like you said but had flaws.

They could have kept focus on the main cast just fine, there was plenty of material to use (like coping, growing without eleven in a way that wasn't just angst, etc).

Bob was a fantastic character but his death was cliche and bullshit. Didn't come as a surprised and just left a bad taste in my mouth. I hate when shows bring in a central character solely for a shock killing.

Aside from that it was good, missed the magic from the original but let's be honest, that was expected (and for good reason).

Agreed about Bob. Instead of getting really attached to the character like they wanted me to, I saw right behind the puppet show and knew they were building up this character just to die and that felt so forced to me. I didnt want him to die and if he didnt I would have really liked the direction they went with him, instead he was just plot fodder.

Also the one thing I really liked about 11s side story is the revelation of her mothers ramblings. I thought it was handled really well and is insanely tragic.
