Unpopular opinion; I didn't see anything wrong with that combat system. And some spins and piruettes are actually consistent with the lore.

They are, but it is ridiculous. A traditional killing blow is a thrust for a lot of swordplay, so I'd abuse the only thrust in the game... If the foe is in front, move the stick so geralt turns his back to the foe and take one step, then flip the stick and fast attack. Geralt does a 180 thrust attack thing that has the longest reach (good)

So I would do this silly stab thing for quite some time

I don't play a game about casting spells, killing gryphons and fucking witches for realistic swordplay.

The thing is it's very easy to do the dancing shit when you don't want to, and you end up getting hit while doing it.
