>Anything that is fun, aside from being good at the game, is a disadvantage and ultimately results in less fun.
Can you be more specific on those fun things?
As far as I can tell, changes are made to try and improve this issue when it's clearly brought up and something can be done about it. For example, the custom configs help make guns that are trash in vanilla more viable, a couple are still pretty bad and keeping track of the changes is ass but I don't feel as my options are as limited compared to vanilla. That's a net gain for fun as far as I see it.
I don't know what can be reasonably done about the stomps, sweatyness and increasing repetitiveness outside of some kind of special events like a pistol only match or something. New maps could help.
