I think your comment could reasonably apply to early Discovery and Picard, but not so much to the rest of nuTrek. It could equally apply to DS9 and Enterprise - but not so much to the rest oldTrek (Voyager might straddle the line).
I think it’s most accurate to say that Star Trek as a whole has generally shown alternating waves of reifying and challenging the utopian future concept. Overall that gives a message that a better society can be achieved, but the work of living up to that vision can never end. It works for me.
nuTrek has been pretty great for me, overall.
Prodigy never managed to win me over, though. I’m well out of its target audience, so that’s no surprise.

nutrek was bad from start to finish, lowerdecks and prodigy was much better shows than the kurtzman 3 he did.
