I’m glad that you realize that your problems are self inflicted. If death match is too hard then don’t play death march.

It's self inflicted but I don't think you quite understand what I mean. I only enjoy difficult gameplay because it forces me to use all the available tools to beat a game. Witcher 3 has difficult gameplay, but I'm so tired of using the same old crafting tools to beat it. I could lower the difficulty and just delete all the crafting/alchemy items I get as some sort of bizarre trade, but I'd rather just play another game.

Witcher 3 is not very difficult, even on Death March. It sounds like your issue isn't with the crafting system, but rather the alchemy system. You don't like having to constantly re-apply short duration buffs and have to meditate to re-stock the supply with alcohest. It's not the difficulty, it's the tedium.
B&W Euphoria builds eliminate that tedium, but they require high character levels.

There's also a mod that auto-applies oils and such. I like the idea on paper, of prepping for each fight w/ the proper "tools", but it got old after 100+ hours, and in many cases not necessary. It also caused a break in fluidity/immersion (for me) by breaking out the inventory system to craft some of the shit. Won't completely alleviate your frustrations but it's a small quality of life mod that doesn't necessarily break the game. It's closer to IDKFA, rather than IDBEHOLDV

Death march is offputring for the first few hours. Once you're midway through velen it becomes a joke. Geralt is MUCH more nimble than anybody he fights. Detlaff is an asshole but he's the only challenging fight once you get the hang of movement.

I have been meaning to replay the game in order to play the expansions/dlcs but the idea of it is much more appealing than actually doing it. My saves are long gone as I played last/beat it right at launch and havent looked at it again since then.

I ran into a similar problem... bought the game on Switch with the intention of using the cross-save feature to replay the whole thing, but not being able to use [non-cosmetic] mods on the PC side really puts a damper on it.
I have to give them credit for the port though, it's impressive what they managed to do on such underpowered hardware.
As for Death March, I recall the game becoming completely trivial the moment I unlocked spin2win. They nerf that in a patch or something?

Nah, spin2win is OP, alchemy is OP, and VERY late-game signs are super OP too with piercing cold and master griffin set bonus. But it's trivial even with no talent investment because quen is just obnoxiously good when paired with a bit of patience and dodging. It's no coincidence that by far the hardest boss in the game is the one fight where quen doesn't make you invulnerable (detlaff with his bats)
About 15-20 for HoS and 20-40 for B&W. They have some of the best writing in gaming history. If you liked the base game, you'll enjoy them.

So my pc parts for a new build will be here next week. This is going to be the game I restart. Played it the first time on ps4, didn’t do the DLCs and I know I’ve been missing out but I wanted a full playthrough to be on a prettier system.
I’m looking forward to it, one of my favorite games ever.
