I can't remember any good answers besides the obvious Togashi, so I will go with a current one, Akutami. Jujutsu is full of them, especially Junpei's arc and also in the current one with Gojo hunting down the cursed spirits, the poor bastard Jogo could not catch a break for so long.
I'm not sure I agree with your premise. Veterans can return with completely different genres and find success. Togashi is really the one that stands out as the exception.

Gintama definitely comes to mind but even gorilla was pretty bad here and there. Still one of the best
That's a good question, but also kinda hard to answer.
Same goes for Horikoshi, there's some issues here and there, especially regarding one little shit gremlin who thinks he's hot stuff. But Horikoshi's handling of the #1 heroes have been amazing. Especially the current #1 hero, because my god it's incredible and I have never seen anything like it.
Strongly disagree there. OP has a lot of characters and some pretty elaborate backstory, but the sheer scope of the series combined with its pacing means characters themselves get pretty undeveloped more often than not. Tons of random villains with unique designs and abilities but nothing really beyond that. Even the Straw Hats barely feel like part of the story.
Honestly, I haven't read OP since right before the timeskip, so I'm not exactly up to date on everything. However, I do know that Oda is given complete freedom to elaborate on pretty much anything he wants within the story, moreso than other series, even.
My take on character writing is that it constitutes what makes a character feel like a believable person within the setting of the story, taking into account things like personality, background information and interactions with others.
Okay, well, I'd have to go with Bleach on this one. And I know people are going to disagree, but I felt Kubo nailed the character writing with zanpakutou being actual extensions of their personality, or their true inner selves.
Personally I’d like seeing huge veterans work in other magazines where they have more freedom and work at there own schedule.
ACT-AGE or Chainsaw Man, but for radically different reasons.
It shouldn't never be the priority, it goes even to sport, art and sometimes even businesses. The newer gen of kids always have different to new ideas to refine what their predecessors did. That's how the earth flows in something new and that already proves from the many flops the veteran made, yes even kishimoto when his manga still sells OK

Big 3 & hunter x hunter. Still to this day, authors take inspiration of the archetypes

That's what alot of people overlook, cuz they expect hunter x hunter type of battle lvl. While I do agree how ichigo win his fight in a repetitive way. It's a brilliant show with one of the greatest ideologies of characters
