Wasted season

That demon Slayer is not a series worth all that thinking it's consume and dump series. It's not a series worth talking, writing and thinking about it. Watch it in the hype then move on until the next installment because the answer to why it's been made that way it's because Aniplex and Suieisha the main producers of the show decided that way ufotable had nothing to do with it in the decision making. Demon Slayer is a Aniplex baby not ufotable.

Despite being not a fan, I used to rate DS more than shows I like more simply because of the adaptational quality. This season, except for the last episode... fails. Many shonen anime excel when they present their adult cast, and they kinda made it feel underwhelming here despite the presence of material.

I still can't understand how Ufotable despite having released a season of training has made everything in the worst possible way, adding fillers that were not needed and also quite useless and excessively extending many scenes that instead should have been more contained, not to mention that Ufotable is not even that good at creating interesting fillers, look at the Muichiro episode with the airplanes, what the fuck was that stuff that killed my brain cells?

I'll tell you how I would have made it and if my idea from your point of view would have been more consolidated than Ufotable's:

First of all I would have always made it 11 episodes
-1 episode: I would have left it the same
-2 episode: I would have added here the past of Shinobu and Kanae told in the novel where they asked Gyomei to train them as demon hunters
-3 episode: I would have left the Tomioka ep the same with the addition of the extermination of his sister instead so as to highlight much more Tomioka's determination to become a hunter instead of just saying it in words
-4 episode: here I would have added the Tomioka spin off present in a manga in the form of Tomioka's thoughts where in this spin off shortly after meeting Tanjiro Tomioka wondered if he had made the right choice in saving Nezuko and Tanjiro while participating in a mission with Shinobu to defeat a demon, at the end of this mission Tomioka seems to have found his answer and it would have been nice to see it, because after the events of the 3rd season Tomioka's choice proved to be right in all respects
-5 episode: I would have condensed the training of Tengen, Muichiro and Mitsuri in a single episode (thus removing those useless episodes dedicated to Tengen and Muichiro)
-6 episode: here I would have added the rengoku spin off, making Mitsuri after finishing training Tanjiro start talking about Rengoku and how he became a pillar while training Mitsuri
-7 episode: I would have put Obanai and Sanemi training
-8 episode: I would have condensed Gyomei training and Gyomei's passage all in one episode (so I wouldn't have divided it into 2 parts considering that Ufotable made it a lot longer)
-9 episode: I would have put Sanemi and Tomioka fighting and from here I would have told the beginning of Sanemi's spin off the one in which he shows his relationship with another demon slayer that allowed him to become a hunter and the beginning of their mission to be promoted to pillars
-10 episode: 2 part of Sanemi's spin off (since it is very long) in which I would have shown Sanemi and the other hunter's mission to defeat the 1st waning moon Ubume until we connect to the part where Sanemi destroys one of Nakime's eyes in the present
-11 episode: here I would have put Muzan's walk (which was iconic in ep 7) and I would have left everything as Ufotable had done in the finale with the difference that I would have also added the crescent moons to be shown in the final scene so as to further load the scene that would have dedicated the basis for future clashes.
This is what I would have done (if I had to use the training arc)

As you can see I didn't even need to invent anything, just choose and manage the times and some scenes with which I would have shown this arc, instead I took the material from spin offs and novels that would have also given us much more action than what we saw, and it makes me laugh how Ufotable didn't think about it, also considering that many novels focus especially on exploring the characters on this part of the story in a very interesting way: for example there is a dialogue between Muichiro and Gyomei in which Mui worries about Gyomei in case he awakens the mark since he is 27 years old and therefore has already passed the 25 in which the curse should strike and Gyomei reiterates that he doesn't worry and in fact that he is more worried about Muichiro and Mitsuri given their low life expectancy (at that time he hadn't yet bonded with Tanjiro XD) and from there an interesting dialogue is born where you can also see the growth that Muichiro was having, which Gyomei acknowledges, (this is to give an example).

What do you think about all this?

You realize how short the arc is the manga right? They had to add in filler to stretch it out.
