Well I shared my basic thoughts about Go-Busters back near the start, and when I reviewed the VS movie. So I’ll just say it’s a very atypical series. Like Timeranger before it, the series tried to be same major reinvention, but it turned off a lot of the target audience and part of the older audience, to the point the next show (Gaoranger for Timeranger, Kyoryuger here) was conceived as a more back-to-basics crowd pleasing show and proved successful enough to leave their marks (Kyoryuger in particular is halfway to becoming Sentai’s Den-O).

And your point about there not being many long term arcs here is intriguing, since when I talked about my feelings on Kyoryuger for their VS movie with this show, I specifically highlighted the fact it had more developed arcs compared to its two predecessors and immediate successor as a highlight. Though my definition of “filler” is episodes that don’t advance the plot or give a new toy/toy feature, which probably colours my perception in that regard.
