Haven't seen the episode and I stopped here, I just read it because that was something I was worried since the trailers... I really hope I'm wrong but it seemed a lot a new JJA Star Trek that I didn't dislike so much as others but I loved S1 because it was so similar to TOS.
(Keeping my response spoiler free as far as I can to take your not having watched the show in account).
I am diehard anti-disco, it just didn't do anything for me as a Star Trek show. I wouldn't quite peg it as Disco-like, I'd peg it as closer to Picard season 3 or maybe Dominion War-esque in tone and design. Touches on some interesting concepts, some interesting world building to fill out that era, and seems designed to add new nuances to expand on M'benga after his daughter situation was resolved season 1.
I will say, I think the milage you'll get out of the episode is going to be pretty reliant on how much you like M'benga. He's one of my favourite characters in the series, so for me, I enjoyed the episode quite a bit. If you're not an M'benga fan, I can see you enjoying it quite a bit less.
Some users in this post really loved it, it's probably worth checking out just in case. I will definitely be watching e2 at least, and I hope it will get back on track (according to my tastes).
I watched it, it was meh. I loved the new engineer but the fights were awful and too long. It didn't seemed SNW tbh, I hope it's just the start
I also agree on your pov on Spock and Chapel and all the rest.
