Do you feel like Jojo became boring after the first 3 parts?

Part 1 and 3 were definitely the worst parts imo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To me, part 3 was an introduction to stands. All the powers are pretty basic and each fight being 2 episodes making for a very repetitive and dragged-out adventure imo. The manga was prob better but the pacing in the anime makes it pretty mediocre.

The charm of part 4 comes from the fact that the travelling is gone. it's a more slice of life-esque part where you see how stands can be used in more creative ways and not only used for fighting. An example of this is Josuke's constant uses of his powers fix things and find clues or when Tonio uses his stand for the restaurant. Story-wise, the first half was pretty lacking but the second half was quite intense. Imagine being in a small-town, recognizing familiar every day but knowing one of them may be a murderer. This obviously is amplified by the nature of the antagonist, Kira, and his desire to live a normal life making for an unusual character, especially in anime. I think the tone set is what makes it amazing though if I had to point out a negative it would be the main casts. Koichi and his girlfriend were quite annoying; Josuke is probably my second least favouite Jojo and Okuyasu is alright though they were still pretty fun to watch.

As for part 5, this video will do a far better job than I could so check it out if you're interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEDhWT2hmr8&feature=emb_title

No, if anything, it's the opposite, and it became only more interesting.
As the first part comes of as Araki figuring out what to do, leading to a completely stretched and tiresome midsection and the third part was only an introduction to stands, and therefore relatively simply in their approach, while with the following parts and the increasing complexity and even more important creativity of the stand battles lead to the fights, conflicts, and threats being all the more interesting and frightening to watch. Also, do I generally prefer the later art style of Araki, and the higher focus on the group, instead of the single main Jojo, not to forget that he just generally improved as a writer, leading to more organic interactions and progression in the story.

Or has it just stopped being boring after the first 3 parts, because Araki finally came up with his own style and got freed from Hokuto no Ken's influence already?

The art change after part 3 is significant though and I could see how some people may not like it. I myself didn't like it too much initially, but later I got used to it and now I love it :D So for me it's sort of acquired taste I guess.

Though it should be clear, that I can't align with your standpoint of the later stands to be convoluted, aside from a selected few of part six, where I've seen some more having been distracted by the exposition necessary to elaborate on them, but I'm certainly more in disagreement with them being simple rehashes. Yes, some of them share similarities or could be seen as reinventions of earlier stands, but Araki adds more than enough to them to justify, or explicitly utilize them to "somewhat" signify a form of progression with the way he creates the stands of his characters.
If you want to go into more detail, then do so, but you don't have to when it comes to me, I just mentioned my reasons as to why I disagree with you, though if we at it, why not, might be interesting to hear your perspective, because, as I said, the more creative stands are what draws me in.
Also, you can elaborate as to what makes Hamon more interesting than Stands for you, as the sheer ridiculousness of those "fighting ghost" in all their forms, colors, capabilities, compared to a "slightly" unique breathing technique seems to be/ is for me, far more engaging.
