Honestly, I wish the various showrunners could see that they are pieces of a whole, and should be working together. Each of them has occasionally delivered beautiful episodes and sometimes whole arcs that perfectly encapsulate Doctor Who. But they all have shortcomings, weaknesses. Moffat (for example) is wonderful with whimsical gibberish that is very entertaining and magical but in the end amounts to 'this all fits together because I say so'. Having RTD at his side to sew up all the inconsistencies into a sweeping dramatic long game could be magnificent.

But no, we'll just keep raising a single talented writer with significant limitations to god-status and then wonder what went wrong. In a movie, too many cooks in the kitchen can be a disaster. In a show, I think its necessary, egos be damned.

This is (to some extent) a product of how we talk about these shows, rather than an actual attribute of the show itself. For instance Julie Gardner played a huge role as a producer and collaborator during the whole original RTD run on the show. Attributing every characteristic of the show to RTD and elevating him to god-status is something that we do ourselves, and is not actually how the show was made.

(My understanding is that this was much less true during Moffat's run as showrunner and that, for various reasons, Moffat actually did take on a much larger part of the burden of getting the show made and the show was somewhat less collaborative than it had been under RTD, which was probably one reason why the production of the show sometimes ran into issues during that time period) (But I could be wrong about that) (I don't really know anything about the Chibnall era in this regard)
