No... I don't have an issue with the KHH being used, I have an issue with it being spamming as often as it is in Super.
Not as bad as it was in the BOG arc, but he uses it noticeably more often than he did in the manga.
It gets really repetituve, especially when the moves are so straightforward. It's okay when used as key moments, but repeated use doesn't make for good fight choreography.
It also cheapens/devalues techniques if they are used repeatedly, especially for trivial uses (against weaker opponents/fights already won) or to no effect.
There's only so much creativity you can get out of energy attacks. Eventually, you're going to have to reuse moves, and you might as well reuse them with the character who already used that move first. Besides, better to reuse the more unique techniques rather than just spam generic ki blasts, which was one of the most common criticisms of the Z anime. Reusing the unique attacks looks cooler and works better for making fight choreography creative and dynamic anyways.
Most of your complaints boil down to They Changed It, Now It Sucks!, regardless of how well or not it's actually executed.

You don't need to re-use energy attacks. As pointed out before, the manga had a tonne of moves it never re-used, and if you just don't use energy attacks as often as Toei does you'd have no problem.
And no, it's not purely bevause they changed things - the execution is poor as well. I already pointed out above why over-use and re-use are unsatisfactory, so you don't need to strawman it.
Dragon Ball really did start it all. Now a days ki blasts are kinda boring compared to the variety of different powers introduced to shonen over the years.
I mean the characters just use very simple martial arts, no weapons or different looking fighting styles influenced by various different martial arts.
The powers & abilities of the genre really have grown over the years.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."Saiga's complaints don't sound at all like They Changed It, Now It Sucks! to me.
Again, there's a middle ground to be had here, and Super isn't using it. Just throwing in "iconic" attacks doesn't make fight choreography better, and it inevitably wears the appeal of those moves down, due to ineffectiveness or overexposure.
Well, the manga introduced attacks mostly to have them fail completely.
It was rare when a technique any of the Z warriors used even worked the first time. With the exception of the Kamehameha, it was Son of Moag city.
Edit:
Ok, I can get that. But if the techniques and combat are getting stale, it might because so many techniques were introduced only to be promptly foiled by Goku's tendency to find a way to No-Sell them, and then for enemies as strong as, or stronger than Goku to come along, allowing them to do the same by default.
Maybe if the series didn't keep shrinking the number of techniques it could use.

One Strip! One Strip!I can certainly agree that technique overuse is annoying, even if it happened with a move I didn't think was particularly overused. If Vegetto came out for every threat, he would very rapidly get on my nerves.

This song needs more love.Yeah. If I understand correctly, Saiga's complaint isn't necessarily that they're reusing techniques (although I think he has a minor problem with that as well), it's that they're being poorly reused. Instead of using them to do something meaningful, they're using them because they're iconic.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!I can only think of a few times a unique technique has been used in Super where it wasn't meaningful in some way. There's 17 using his barrier against someone offscreen during the montage, Team Nerd's combined attack on U10 and Botamo which did nothing, and...? Almost every time anyone's used a unique move, it has accompanied either an elimination or an emotional peak of the episode in question.
Is the Oozaru supposed to even be an ape?

This song needs more love.No. The Oozaru is a giant monkey. In fact, that's what the Japanese literally translates to. Blame bad dubbing practices for calling it an ape.

That and the other characters constantly reminding him.
