 * Often required 5-stars, made it kinda whale-only team.

Nope.

Because with that kind argument, one can also argue Arts team are way more whale-only comp. given how their consistent, strong players are SSR (Tamamo, Nero Bride, Jeanne, Waver, Merlin) while their exceptional DPS are fairly limited (Vlad, Lancelot, Munenori, Archer Arthuria) even with you bring Rule Breaker to the table.

You can run Buster critical with below 5-stars, such as Suzuka Gozen, Tomoe, Rama, Gawain, Anne and Gorgon. If you're OK with Instinct, Saber Alter too. From welfare, there are Nobu and Chacha. From 3-stars, there are Bedivere and Colombus, who find their greatest output on critical-based team.

For the support itself, Hans and Shakespeare are effectively poor-men Merlin. Just because this game releasing more gold than silvers and bronzes, it doesn't mean all good comp you want are whale-only comp.

Merlin only offering "easy mode", doesn't mean you can't perform similar feat with others. Its one simple case of you need more Servants and CE, and using your brain a bit, to perform similar feat. New Servants also offering nice utility as alternative to the build, such as Circe.

Conclusion, personally I found its kinda hilarious how you said "Enjoy" while you pushing all that Quick-kind content rather than a better explanation.
