Same experience. Otel is one of the wordiest docs I've ever come across that says very little. Further, I found a lot of little bugs that are hard to Google, or when Googling finding open issues that are either known and working on, or no response at all. I ended up just throwing it in the garbage and using direct connectors. I like what Otel is trying to achieve, but it feels extremely opaque and half baked at the moment.
