I never got the whole brouhaha surrounding that episode when Daring Do was shown to be real
A lot of it came from the same noxious Rainbow Dash stans who created the Mysterious Mare Do Well ~controversy~ out of nothing, and for more or less the same reasons; it infuriated them that Dash was getting “shown up” by someone else in an episode that made her look like an ass.
Sombrashy is still news to me
There’s one artist who’s reeeaaallly into it and cranks out a ton of high quality art for it, and they’re pretty much the tugboat that moves the entire ship along.
why are people treating them like they’re spawns from Tartarus?
They are objectively horrible people and apocalyptically bad parents. They make me extra angry because they’re great characters and I would have loved to see them appear in some other unrelated context, but as Scootaparents the only way they’re not reprehensible scumbags is if the whole episode was a fantasy Scootaloo had about her friends actually getting to meet her beloved parents who disappeaared to their doom into the Everfree Forest or something when she was a tiny foal, and she’s been raised by Holiday and Lofty all along.

Even though Daring Do is literally a Dash recolour, she never looked like one to me
I have a hard time getting around it, I just find it visually annoying. I still think it was a bad directorial choice and they should have given Daring, like, Scootaloo’s hair style or something and left the recolor for Dash’s imagination; it could have made for some hilarious scenes in Daring Don’t of Dash imagining how Daring would do something and having The Real Thing interrupt like Spike popping Twilight’s thought balloon in Lesson Zero.
@EotD
very little in the world actually challenges her
It’s a valid criticism, but it could also be applied to Twilight Herself just as easily; ever since we saw her moving literally-tons-of-cargo with her brains in Boast Busters, she’s explicitly been on a level where the only thing holding her back from easily defeating all but the most worldwide existential threats is her lack of understanding of her own power and how to use it. Anypony who could pick up a freakin’ water tower full of surprise!milk and a giant baby space bear long before she she got an upgrade to the Alicorn G4 processor could just as easily have clapped Angry Starlight between two halves of a floating mountain, but instead she was… trying to head-laser her.

thirty percent skill and seventy percent confidence
Dash proved that herself back in Sonic Rainboom; she was crap at the competition until somepony was in danger, at which point her Hero Reflex kicked in and whooooosh!.
