The only plot finally progressing is Krang and Ch'rell (with Krang stuck in Leatherhead's body for 2+ years finally over), and hopefully wrapping up the Utrom/Triceraton stuff. Old Hob is still doing the usual too, being coy and only helping the Turtles when it suits him.
The only other stuff resolved is Karai finally no longer hates the Turtles and made a truce with them, which was LONG overdue.

For me kitsune is the only fascinating pantheon character and she's sidelined, the rat king is so megalomaniacal, i'm more into the morally grey characters myself like Karai who is one of the best things about the series along with Hob and splinter before he died. Feels like Hob will get his Gollum redemption moment in the climax as he's been dragged through the mud for a while with the trafficking of mutants and outright terrorism on humanity.
Agreed on the Ch'rell/Krang arc being the most coherent and grounded thus being the most readable/enjoyable stuff of this so far. I have to say I was super bummed to see the church get blown, my favorite lair. RIP.
The ninja magic stuff is kind of cringe for me too. idk
