did you host your own matrix homeserver or use matrix.org? that can change how fast it feels massively and yeah built in moderation tools are pretty much nonexistant https://github.com/the-draupnir-project/Draupnir is the only moderation bot that you can run to ban users from all rooms at once if they break your rules and lets you subscribe to banlists so if a user spams in other rooms that have write access and gets added they'll be banned from your rooms as well
Hosted my own, was basically trying to move a large group off telegram and onto my own servers.
I did use Mjolnir for a while, but that was a hassle in and of itself as well. Nothing was intuitive.
