I agree, 100,000%. Even though I adore the designs of the mech suits and the artistry that goes into the mech battles, 99 times out of 100, the mech battles are completely superfluous additions that waste time that would be better used fleshing out the characters and stories.
Sure, modern seasons are better at integrating the mech battles into the story -- we're well past the days of the 70s-90s, when they were just excuses to overuse stock footage and pad out the runtime of the episode -- but they're never my favorite part.
I'm interested to see how the creative team approaches these new digital-world battles, but I'm not particularly hopeful that they'll break the mold in a significant structural way.
Something I loved about The High School Heroes -- a fucking fantastic series that far too few people are talking about -- is the lack of giant mech fights. I think HSH can be used as a proof-of-concept for how a mech-less Sentai series could work... and, if the Sentai heroes continue to look like mechs in their ground-level forms, I don't see the lack of traditional, giant-sized mechs in the series impacting the toylines that rely on mechs for sales.

I generally agree with you, but once December hits and the toy retailers meeting has happened... the rumors are pretty rock solid. In fact, it's past the point that I'd even refer to the new batch of info as rumors. These are firsthand reports, backed up by numerous sources, of what was announced and revealed at this week's toy retailers meeting.
