Is it possible to clear high end content without them? If the answers to these last two questions are yes and no, respectively, then perhaps the high end content has been tuned too high?
Addons are not needed for high end content.

Very few people use any addons that actually make it easier. Many use QoL and parsing addons, however. The main QoL plugin has 795k downloads.

Some people are mad about the world first race but fail to realize that the addons that do make it easier, need to be programmed first to know what the strat for the fight is. Therefore, they cannot be used for world first.

Really this whole bout of drama isn't that big a deal since all they did was ban a few streamers (for 10 days) who were being super blatant about it. Now if they start trying to implement an anti-cheat or going after your average joe, then it'll be a big deal.
