came close a few times

Since you can't see death's life, I'm going to be the first one to say you probably haven't come close :)

I think fighting death just takes too long for me to really feel like starting over when I fail

There are a few "very slow" builds, but if you don't take Death out in 20 seconds or less, odds are really good that your build can't even come close. Which is ok. Killing death is a very specific goal and most builds aren't designed for it.

The thirty minute grind the game is built around just felt rough to me

If you play a bit longer, you're able to reduce that to 15 minutes. Very few things are actually hard-gated to 30 minutes at all. Most unlocks are driven by character level; if you can hit level 80+ in less than 5 minutes, then you're good.
