The first affix can be largely ignored a lot of the time, but once you hit level 7, the scaling plus having 2 affixes working together makes you hit a wall of "either brute force through with ilvl" or "start dealing with the specific mechanics appropriately." Basically it requires 1st truly learning the dungeons (not just the boss fights which is a basic requirement, but how hard you get hit by mobs, which mobs are scary, which packs are jokes you can chain pull, what mobs spells do, these types of things) then 2nd applying the affixes of the week and going "how does this affect each of these things individually." Don't mean to sound elitist or condescending at all, as it sounds daunting to learn these things if you're unfamiliar with it, but if you think about one aspect at a time while doing runs you start to notice more and more things going on around you that might otherwise have been "meh, that mob over there is casting some spell" to "oh shit, it's a +10 fortified run and that mob is about to hit me with a chaos bolt while I'm at 15% HP, better interrupt."
Part 2 regarding things besides mythic+ to do, feel like the other posters pretty much got it covered. Can do individual bosses in NH since so many groups running it and it has a choice progression path, can do as many bosses as possible in time limit in EN norm and HC since it's on farm, or play the lotto hoping for warforged / titanforged WQ loot.
