My most frequent issue with them is that they don't go far enough - mostly they just get treated as set dressing

An author really has to make the effects of the AU felt for the fic to be worth it, I think. I've come across a lot of AU fics where the premise is something like "Everything the same, but Character A is a vampire", and then they proceed to practically re-write the book/show/movie exactly the same, but in the back of our minds we're just supposed to remember that Character A is a vampire... and that's not entertaining. Even the slightest change can be interesting, but you have to do something with it. The fic doesn't have to be all about how this change alters the canon, but you do need a plot. Or at least some smut.

Exactly! And, like, at the end of the day, why would you write an AU where a character was a vampire unless you wanted to get at some particular effect or purpose or theme connected to being a vampire.
