Can't say I completely see eye-to-eye with this assessment. I'd consider Bloodstained more gratuitous and sexualized than Lost Epic, Astalon, or particularly Momodora, which just gives me a kinda relaxed Touhou-ish "witches doing witch things" vibe. Lost Epic does have waifu bait-y character design. Lost Ruins is easily the worst offender of the bunch, but it's nowhere near as bad as any gacha game. When you said "hentai waifu garbage" I really thought you meant along the lines of F:GO or other horrible gachashit.
If you want good (mostly-)indie metroidvanias that aren't waifu bait and do weird things with the genre (one of them is a pinball game), give any of these a try:

The touhou one is pretty good, and they also made a record of lodoss war one that's supposed to be really good as well.
