Also with the people everyone suggested, are all the newer 4* characters just a lot worse than their older counterparts? Like say is Yanfei interchangeable with Xiangling or is Xiang just a lot better / do something specific?

The most busted 4 stars are indeed launch characters; Xiangling's burst is kind of special in a way that they don't replicate with newer characters, so it's hard for another pyro character to replace her. Yanfei has her own uses, though, she's not a bad character. However, she's purely a pyro DPS who uses charge attacks, and that's a lot more replaceable. Similarly, there's no 4 star hydro character comparable to Xingqiu (though Yelan is at 5 stars), and again for Fischl you end up looking at 5 stars as comparisons. Bennett isn't replaceable even looking at 5 stars. These being some of the strongest 4 stars.

I'm sure it's a lot easier once you know all the mechanics but I tried it at 90 (which I have no problem with elsewhere) and just went nope after one try. Lowered it to 80 (but forgot to take an Electro) and it still felt awful to do so just quit out of it

I do think Raiden Shogun is the hardest weekly boss, she hits hard and teleports a lot so the fight can feel like RNG with how mobile she's feeling. Note though that you don't need an electro; a catalyst character mixing normal and charge attacks can destroy the flower quickly enough to activate the shield.
