Frankly I'm not sure we have anywhere else to "boldly go" here. Maybe it's time to move on and diversify another franchise? I hear James Bond is hiring…

Now throw in the heterosexual, white male captains and rank them all by competence. Hmmm….

an episode where someone starts experimenting with borg tech (just the cybernetics and nano tech, not to hive mind) as a form of human augmentation, as it's not outright banned like gene based technology, and the federation going full on pitchfork welding racist Luddites over it could make for an interesting basis for plot

This was actually the backstory to the antagonist of the novel "Federation". Long story short, it was written before the movie First Contact, and was about Zefram Cochrane before, during, and after the first warp flights, when most of Earth was living under various fascist police-state regimes at war with each other.
There's an insane military leader named Colonel Thorsen who thinks that Cochrane's warp engine can be turned into a sort of "erase everything within its spacetime bubble from existence but leave no radioactive fallout" bomb, ideal for clearing battlefields that his own troops would have to march through later. Cochrane thinks it's impossible to build such a bomb, but wants to get the hell out of dodge anyway because Thorsen's the kind of guy who would happily torture Cochrane and his friends to force him to work on it anyway.
After WWIII and the defeat of his regime, Thorsen's pissed. He wants to use said imaginary bomb to bring back the past glories of his defeated nation. But Cochrane is nowhere to be found, having escaped into intersetellar space after having deliberately filing a fake flight plan, all to escape Thorsen. Thorsen's obsession with getting revenge on Cochrane before Thorsen dies leads to Thorsen using nanotechnology from a race called the Grigari to extend his life.
It's like being slowly Borged, but without the hive mind aspect. Biological tissue in direct contact with Grigari nanotech gradually dies off, so layer after layer of tissue is replaced by nanomachines until nothing organic is left of the body and all you've got left is an insane computer-facsimile of the original person's mind driving a robot body. (Imagine Lore, but without any self-control whatsoever.) Kirk notes that the technology has been outlawed in the Federation.

This particular coput annoys me more than any other in the series. Are we really expected to believe that genetic engineering and all manner of other highly beneficial goodies are just not practiced because of a law? At least DS9 tried to address this somewhat with bootleg autismo doctors on Earth.

Yes, that's half of section 31's job (when they're written well). Make federation citizens believe that no one else would ever practice the wrong thought or actions therefore you shouldn't either.
Personally I find it odd that their aren't more "transporter accidents" happening that just so happen to make people younger and extend their lifespans.

Given that our own science is heavily influenced by 'antiracism' propaganda to the point the man who discovered DNA was forced to recant his obvious observations, it is believable to me that you can suppress scientific advancement with political correctness.

But we're talking about a technology that already exists and has existed in the Federation for centuries. I'd say the modern parallel isn't the antiracist intellectuals but gun control laws. Controlling funs through legislation doesn't appreciably decrease a criminal's ability to acquire firearms, and I would imagine gene therapy to be similar in the Federation.

It's not exactly mixing black powder to do gene therapy. There is a skilled workforce required to do it and they can be effectively monitored by peers. Even in the 24th century gene manipulation requires medical degrees. Also, there was an easy pressure valve in eugenicists going off-world. Several times we see colonies of cloners, eugenicists, or genetic engineers interacting with starfleet. Anybody who wanted to pursue it could just get off earth.

the federation does seem to make a lot of effort to encourage the possible "troublemakers" to get the fuck off their perfect utopian crown jewel world and into dangerous lawless space. Hell, it feels like half the purpose of Starfleet is to have something shiny to distract all the types of people, that wouldn't be content just passively sitting on their ass in a post scarcity cocoon being pacified with endless replicated food and holo generated sex their entire lives, and hopefully get the especially problematic people killed off.
