Very interesting assessment, but I believe there's also one key point that should be added to that list: each of these characters are Gary Stus. They're loved by everyone in the story and don't have any unlikable qualities, little backstory, and often exist for the sake of voicing one's opinion. James does push that envelope out a bit, but like you said, his stories feel rather off adding a bunch of characters that wouldn't really add much to the Loud House besides Laney and Linka I guess. However, if you make yourself a God, you need to have some unredeeming qualities because not everyone is going to like you.

This kinda ties into why (aside form James' stories) their fics tend to be bland since they're usually copy/paste from episode transcripts with themselves added in. If they developed their characters a bit more(give them a good back story, NOT ALWAYS being at the Louds' House when they have their own home, annoying habits, etc.) they could be ok.
