As a former patron of his, my personal opinion is: miss me with that vanilla shit!
There are SO MANY vanilla content creators out there, I'd much rather see more creators focusing on beast/monster stuff.
Beast is gone, reduced to atoms. Monsters remain and some niche fetishes. "Problem" is that he focuses on variety. Which many welcome, others dislike.
That being said, I do prefer non-vanilla contents too. There's way too many vanilla creators. It does very least put me at ease knowing unlike many others, he still does variants and focuses on telling stories.
Sidenote: Huge props to ZM this month. This month the total length of the animations is about 4 minutes. Don't particularly care whether it's vanilla or something else. 4 minutes per month + variants is impressive. Combined with fact that Minthara and Mizora is technically two separate anims.
