CombatRelief VS WrathMods-WeaponFocusPlus

Right behind them are VisualAdjustments2, BubbleTweak (mostly for the animation-speed tweaks), Weapon Focus Plus (especially for Shifter or any other natural-attack-focused build, makes them sooo much better when you only need one set of feats), and Enduring Rework (finally makes Enduring Spells useful on its own and not just a "feat tax" you pay on your way to Greater Enduring Spells). Add Combat Relief if you hate crusade management but don't want to set it to Auto; not using it myself but other Redditors said it still works.

I use the updated version you can find here. It works well after newest patches.

Toy Box has various cheats like giving yourself tons of resources. Combat Relief has more options but hasn't been updated since November: no idea if it still works with latest patch.

Use this Mod instead.

As soon as you're tired of doing Crusade mode, do whatever you feel like to get through it. It doesn't get any more interesting later on. If you're open to mods, https://github.com/alterasc/CombatRelief negates all the battles.

I can't promise these all work with the latest patch (v2.1 beta) but: You can use Toybox to cheat. Bubble Buffs takes a while to setup but automates pre-combat buffing. The Combat Relief mod has an option to always skip random encounters.

Make sure you're using this version of Combat Relief; the original mod hasn't been updated in a year.

That said, in order to optimize your DPS you do want a couple of weapon-specific feats, such as Improved Critical + Mythic Improved Critical. So if you're on PC, consider the Weapon Focus Plus mod, which uses fighter weapon groups so you can take e.g. Improved Critical for Heavy Blades (longsword, scimitar, falchion, etc.) rather than a single sword type. I.e., your MC has taught themselves how to use any weapon, but they still have a forte.

If you're on PC, I recommend the Weapon Focus Plus mod so you only need one set of feats to cover all your natural attacks. Much more reasonable than trying to take, like, a dozen crit feats to cover everything.

My second-tier mods are BubbleTweak and Weapon Focus Plus. You can play WotR without them but they're hella convenient for the speed tweaks and feat consolidation, respectively. In particular, WFP makes natural-attack-based classes/builds like Shifter a lot better because you only need one set of feats to cover all natural attacks, instead of one set for claws, one set for bites, etc.

BTW since you're already using mods, I recommend adding Weapon Focus Plus so that your weapon feats apply to weapon groups and not just individual weapons. I.e., I take the bardiche weapon feats while leveling, knowing they also apply to glaives so I can use them as well before Death's Consonant.

Somewhat more balanced (though probably has an outsized effect on natural weapons) is this mod that has Weapon Focus apply to weapon groups.

GD form gets six natural attacks per round: one bite (2d8), two claws (2d6), two wing attacks (1d8), and one tail slap attack (2d6). If you don't want to have to deal with four different sets of feats, I'd recommend the Weapon Focus Plus mod.

If you're on PC, I would recommend the Weapon Focus Plus mod which uses fighter Weapon Training groups for those feats.
