I'm curious about how far your onion dislike goes. For example, I recently cooked lohiketto, a Finnish salmon soup. It feels like a rare meal that doesn't use onions (it's basically leek, carrot, potatoes, cream, salmon and dill), but the leek sort of fills the role that onions usually would, albeit more delicately.
I don't mind onions when they're used as a real ingredient. French onion soup, stir-fry, onion rings, all good. Onions also make decent filler in soup and curry, but I think the only soup I've had without onion is cheese & broccoli. Every ground meat I've seen uses onions as filler, so every burger, nearly every taco, most sausages, every lasagna, every spring roll, all have that onion taste.
If leeks were used like this, I'd probably hate them too.
TIL: In Finland, leeks are like onions.
In Sweden we call them purjolök (lök means onion)
Y'all must have some crazy strong-flavored marsh weed. The common leeks in the US (store bought or homegrown) tend to be milder than late-season scallions with a fibrous structure akin to artichoke leaves. That's genuinely interesting!
