VOY is my favorite series despite Chakotay, Neelix, and other stumbling blocks and it never really reached its full potential due to meddling from Berman and other studio execs. DS9 only got away with innovating because Berman was too busy micromanaging VOY.
As for new shows, they're not episodic so it's a fundamentally different way to approach to storytelling. It's just the landscape of prestige TV. You can't just pick a self-contained story to compare. Prodigy and Lower Decks are great episodic TV and Strange New Worlds offers a return to that format as well.
