Raided at a very high level in Legion, definitely got burnt out by obnoxious fight design in Antorus. Played a ton of Subtlety towards the end, but the removal of DfA basically makes the spec as boring as it was in Nighthold, which is super meh. Assassination looks solid but pretty much exactly what it was in Legion with a few passive changes. Outlaw is looking pretty good, but I still hate RtB rng even though it's much better. Havoc DH is a similar playstyle that I haven't played for a ton of hours already so hopefully that's something new.
My plan for BfA is to start a solid Heroic core and get people who are good over time. Only one vaguely scheduled raid per week for an hour or two, along the lines of "We'll be forming at 8pm EST Thursday be around if you want to come". The eventual goal being clear heroic in 60-90 minutes and move on with our lives.

We struggle because late evenings are hard when you're an adult.

ToC was ok. I feel there are definitely worse raids, such as Nightmare. Actually, I didn't very much care for the Legion raids. ToC was neat because it was pure bosses, and I really enjoyed the PVP fight. It was the story connection that was odd. "We are gonna hold a tournament to find the strongest heroes so the weak ones don't die and become zombies. Oh, but you can die here too so don't be weaksauce, kthxbai."
Barrel Roll Deathwing and his platform fights were the absolute worst, imo.
A large raiding guild can usually support a semi-casual extra raid along the lines of "10 or so friends smash the raid in a few hours", because that large guild provides a lot of extra support. Reliable people who want to gear alts to fill in for missing spots. Easy access to crafting professions and recipes. A large friend base for running heroics/mythics/etc.
Every small group like that that I've seen outside of a side group on a larger guild has fallen apart, and it's usually due to that lack of support.
I made it up to US 27th ranked Rogue for a bit in ToS, and I know the others in the main M+ group I run with are more than good enough to smash through Heroic mode, so filling out the last spots with alts and others should be easy.

Perhaps Blizzard will see a surge in new players then, as that cuts out generally the extra $15 or more to buy the "battle chest" to catch up on past expacs.
