A lot to take in but the first thing that jumps out is I think you're overweighting consistency on some of these. Yeah, I'm never unhappy to slap Artemis strike on something, but when the Dio/Zeus strikes jump up SEVERAL tiers on half the weapons (they're decent on spear too), that isn't really inconsistent. Something like Dio special that's only good on a couple of specific aspects I could understand, bit not this. I guess I value their statuses higher as well.

Also I think you are underrating Passion Shot and Phalanx Shot for cast builds. They deal a ton of damage and actually work with most cast gimmicks. For example on Beowulf shield - you can easily blast out 2-3 full powered rushes in the time it would take for a Festive Fog to wear off, which is just downtime without a duo.

That's fair. Attack and Special boons were easily the hardest to rank since they're so reliant on what weapon you use. Cast, Dash, and Call all can be done with the same strategy regardless of what weapon you have, which is probably why Cast and Call consistently got higher. In general, I just decided to put all the inconsistent boons in a tier and leave it at that.

Might as well call it out since this is also being used as an advice thread for Hades. These boons jump higher if you're using these weapons. Bold for special emphasis.

Curse of Agony: Shield, Bow
Divine Flourish: Bow, Blade
Lightning Strike: Rail, Fists, Spear
Tempest Strike: Spear, Shield, Bow
Drunken Flourish: Zeus Shield, Chaos Shield, Bow
Drunken Strike: Fists, Rail, Shield, any weapon with Flurry enhancement

I don't respect Crush Shot unless you have Flurry Cast or Blown Kiss. It's just too close for comfort otherwise. It doesn't help that basically every other Aphrodite option is viable too. As for Phalanx Shot...eh. It's very in-the-middle for casts.
