Note that I don't think this stuff is casual friendly. As a casual, my problem with the way Blizzard does these systems is you want to do something every day/week/etc.

Quite frankly, it turns the game into a chore. It tells me that not only how much time I spend, but also when I spend that time significantly impacts my rate of advancement.

Disclaimer: I haven't played Shadowlands at all.

Yeah, this sounds very mobile-gamey. Systems like this tend to start feeling like a job you have to do when you're not in the mood to play them. My preferred casual style of binge-rest-binge would not not be well-served.
