In no particular order
1. the end of the two most iconic characters (Tony Stark, Steve Rogers), with no proper passing of the torch.
2. COVID-19 ruining the release dates
3. Making a Black Widow movie, after the character is already dead... and after the Infinity Saga is over.
4. Chadwick Boseman's death
5. Over relying on Spider-Man who got 3 movies and 3 cameo's even though the character was introduced well after others.
6. The multiverse being shoehorned into everything at this point. This literally ruined the original plot for Dr Strange 2. They forced the director to change the plot without giving him a new deadline, forcing him to walk away. It also changed the plot for Spider Man 3. Both movies ended up being laughably overrated.
7. No clear overall direction, other than the "multiverse" which seems like a way to shoehorn characters who otherwise shouldn't already been in the MCU timeline day one (X-Men, Blade etc.)
8. Sony trying to ride the coattails of the MCU, shoehorning elements into their weak ass movies.
9. No quality rival studio to push Marvel be more competitive.
10. Disney. Disney helped take the MCU to another level, but the overall quality hasn't been what it needed to be. It seems that they will forever be held back.
11. Horrible CGI due to certain movies being priorities over others, movies being filmed at certain locations to cut costs and overlapping productions giving key elements little to no time to be properly created and edited in post production.
Marvel's ambition, while uncharted, may end up hindering them in the future. People point to the Eternals, and Marvel's first being flop, but it was merely a hiccup. THey could afford to make a niche movie, with little to no positive reviews and barely breaking even or losing money. If it was Spider-Man then I could understand. But not this.
Black Panther is probably under the most pressure to equal or surpass what it did before as COVID-19 is no longer an excuse based on what Spider-Man did.
At this point, it's really hard to gauge where the MCU will head going forward. There is a new generation of consumers, that didn't come up on the originals, and it's impossible to duplicate phase 1-3. shyt will either get even more redundant, which will force them to take bigger risks and cut out movies, or the will ride the wave until the wheels fall out.

they really have no excuse even with Chadwick gone.
