I think the anime peaked with alola

No joke, that series had deep soul

I’m overall happy with his journey. I’ve watched since I was in 3rd grade, Kanto kid

I wish ash’s time wasn’t ever but the journey continues..

Ash beating Leon felt cheap and not believable in universe.

Absolutely not, because from Unova-Alola there was barely a sense of continuity in his character or the story. There was no point in keeping the character around at that point other than nostalgia. He should've won at Sinnoh. It's have been a satisfying conclusion, and they could've used actual new characters in later series like they clearly wanted to.

Nah, not really. Even his original story was underwhelming where barely anything of notice happened (albeit better written). Ash was borderline NPC-tier in the first four regions.
Not to mention, the constant resetting makes the continuity feel artificial on top of the inconsistent design. The anime team really didn't try in making it feel believable.

Of course, in the movies he's much more noteworthy, but those are hardly referenced in the anime to count.

Sort of like the video games, everything after Sinnoh feels more and more like its own thing.

BW was an attempted reboot
XY was a 180 reversal where Ash is cooler and stronger than ever and even has a gf
SM was a slice of life comedy not really about the action
Journeys has like no structure
It all feels like people working on the show had different directions for what it should be

This. There was a degree of continuity from OS to Sinnoh and Ash felt like the same character simply maturing. BW and beyond feel totally alien from what came before. Even moreso with by SM.

I can buy Ash acting a little more relaxed and childish in SM considering he's essentially just chilling at home instead of actively travelling anywhere

Gen 8 is the worst end. His team was just old mons he shouldve had decades ago, and his final round had a type disadvantage. Alola handled it better since his final was against a legendary

The head writer for SM said that Ash winning the league was a decision made around the time the SM anime started in 2016, around the time of the Kalos league aftermath.

Gamefreak too, kek. They changed battle bond so it only increases stats instead of changing into Ash-Greninja.
