Not a rank 1 survivor, but my opinion on the perks you mentioned:
I think Bond and Self care together is a bit of an overkill. When i run Bond, I don't need Self care because i usually find someone to heal me in short time. When I run Self care (which i do in solo queue games) , i usually run Kindred, because it helps in solo games to coordinate saves a bit more than Bond.
I share the opinion on second chance perks. Everytime I equip them, they get no use. When I need them I don't have them...
I see Iron Will quite often on Rank 1 and I I think it's super useful, have it on nearly every build.

I play the game now for like 3 months and I don't think the grind is unbearable. With the archives, daily rituals and perks like BBQ and wglf I managed to get all the meta perks for killers and survivors I needed and I even had BP left for spending on killers and survivors I actually play. After the 1,5xBP period during the lockdown I had every perk I wanted except for the ones from characters I don't have yet (eg Surge from demo).
I had a friend with whom I played survivor and he left the game after a short time cause it was too stressful for him. I think it's not a game for everyone, which is ok. It can be frustrating and some just don't want to deal with that if they have other options to spend their time.
Getting into the game can also be hard without help. I was lucky to have a friend (who also left the game some weeks ago because of Valorant) who was survivor rank 6 by the time I started, he showed me everything and played with me for some time. Without help, you have to be willing to watch a lot of tutorials to get down the basic stuff

After 3 days of testing, i have to say i see really no difference. Even if some complain about dead zones, there are enough options left to keep the killer busy throughout a match. And the bad matchmaking, especially in the evening and night hours in my region, makes it nearly unplayable, except if i just play to try out silly or funny stuff without even attempt to "win".
Against red rank squads, you have to end chases super quick to have a chance, and maybe get someone out of the game as soon as possible or try slugging when everyone is injured. hit & run and hook juggling doesn't work really because they don't bother to heal and just run back to a gen if you leave for another gen to add "map pressure"...

can someone confirm if this is only a new animation? he feels slower, but this can be a deceptive perception due to the delayed second "bong"

Dont wanna say so much about the camping/tunneling thing, but here are some tipps for playing wraith, since i started to play him a lot the last weeks. Hope that helps you getting better (i was in the exact same spot when i was in green ranks).
The better way to play Wraith is hit&run. Don't get into long chases, just hit them, then cloak again and search for the next one. Sometimes you can try the chase. With experience, you will get a feeling which chases are worth it, considering in which part of the map you are, the skills of the survivor (after a while you will quickly realize the skill level from the way they move, if they run to save loops etc.) and the general game situation. It will feel a bit strange in the beginning when you are used to "chase them till they're down, even if it takes 2 minutes", but after a while you will get rewarded.
i'm only rank 7 with ~200-250h as killer so i'm also not a good killer, but here are some generel tipps i've collected and tested out through the last weeks:
- survs can still see you even if you're cloaked when they pay attention. Try to get something in line of sight, like trees, when you approach them. Also, more and more seem to use spine chill. If they're always already gone when you arrive at the gen and you suspect they have spine chill, just don't stare at the gen aura while approaching, face to the side
- uncloak behind a wall or object and use your "burst" to surprise attack them
- after hit, cloak again when they have some distance to you, so you can catch up... or just go to the next one, applying pressure to everyone is necessary. Since getting the first hit with Wraith is so much easier, you should just wait for the next opportunity when they're not expecting it. Try to play unpredictable.
- he is heavy add-on dependent though, but he has a lot of good ones. I mostly run windstorm+swift hunt. You can also use double swift hunt for super fast de-cloak, but you lose some map pressure. Both combinations are good. Double windstorm makes your uncloaking too slow, don't use that. You can also try out the "meme" builds like no bell sound+no terror radius for 6 seconds for jump scares. Use All-seeing purple or pink if you have trouble finding survivors or no aura perks like BBQ. Shadow dance is also cool, but i barely use it when i have swift hunt & windstorm
- perk wise, most people say you need enduring+spirit fury because of his looping potential. You can do that, but i mostly use a standart meta build like BBQ, Nurses, PGTW and then Sloppy or Enduring or Bamboozle. I try to injure them or get at least 1 or 2 pallets down, when they go for relatively save loops i'm out, since i'm also not the best in mindgaming. Nurses is godly on him, you will find a lot of survivors healing in some corners, not expecting you coming around. Sometimes you can leave a chase, then come back after 20-30 seconds and find them defenseless. You can also try Corrupt, but since he is really fast with windstorm and thus can apply pressure, i don't use it.
- last of all, try to get yourself into a mindset where you don't play for a 4k or kills in general. It's hard when you are used to it and the game can be really frustrating, but just say to yourself that Wraith is a low tier killer and you don't need to 4k every game. It's normal to have games with 0 kills with him (or with any other killer in general, when the survivors are all red rank and swf).
