Did you get the hang of it?

Yes! i was able to dominate genchiro when i got his move set down, and i was finishing the first phase untouched with mikiri counter against his thrust.. that's where I'm at, just sent off by the divine heir to find the sunken valley and some lotus

Awesome now you got it!
Genichiro is the big wall and once you get past it you're on your way to become master shinobi!

For me lady butterfly was the real tough one. Actually after banging my head against her for ages, the guy at the castle gate on the horse, the ashina elite and genchiro, and every other simple weapon wielder, has been pretty easy to understand... My problem with genchiro was losing concentration because i was excited to get into the third phase.. this seems to be my main problem in soulsborne games at the moment, when i progress and feel the finish line inching closer i get fixated on it and don't notice the giant sword heading towards my forehead lol
Edit: oh i also struggle to see when they're thrusting or sweeping, just a vision thing, it kinda gets obscured by the deflection starbursts and stuff, this is probably something I'll have to improve at some point...

At first they were really hard for me and still at times they can be pretty difficult.
Just look be aggressive, attack and deflect and for the thrust kick. Some of them can be sneaked up.

Senpou Temple and Sunken Valley are my favourite areas from story/lore and game design POV. Perfects that far east/monk's journey I've always thought of.

Is it weird I can't get into this? Played Demon's Souls, DaS1-3 and Bloodborne and did everything in them. Don't know why this one isn't appealing. Maybe I should just skip and go straight to Elden Ring...

It's a different beast baby.
You can always skip it and go play something that's more your thing. You can always come back.

I had the same experience.
Sekiro is not a Soulsborne. It's an action game (no RPG, no different build possible...). Very different style. I ended up loving when my goal was to "style" the combat.
Don't force yourself, you can skip to Elden Ring if you prefer the Soulsborne approach.
