That priestess in TMP had a pretty big smirk on her face when she saw that Spock hadn’t successfully obtained it.

Yes, but that is Neelix.
And?
Are you alluding to his forcible mind-melding on the bridge?
He'll be forced to shut up while they rescue him....on rare occasions.
I do not recall that, so I need to revisit that scene. Seems inconsistent to me.
A normal person would have murdered Neelix at some point on the seven year voyage, it was a herculean feat of stoicism for Tuvok to be only mildly irritated with him.
Anyway, Spock on TOS got the balance right where it was a once in a while thing. Kelvin Spock and the streaming shows way overdo it and make them look emo.
He is half-human. Where there isn't 2,000 years of strict emotional control.
That can be achieved via imposters (shapeshifters?), imperfect clones, dreams, (holodeck) simulations, alternative reality counterparts and the like; all the while, the original/true Vulcan can remain composed.
The Vulcan way is superior.*
ETA: tongue in cheek.

That doesn't deal with an actor that wants to use their talents for more than standing around being info dumps.
Not remotely. It is different and it is a fantasy.
That's what the show tells us.
And I forgot the emoji as my tongue is firmly in cheek as I don't think Vulcans are superior and the short changing of emotions frustrates me because of the insistence of the lack of emotion is somehow praiseworthy.
And Amanda.Well, that is what the Vulcans in the shows tell us.
She was just entranced by the green wiener.
Successfully pulling off an "emotionless" individual - who has layers to his or her personality - is a considerable display of talent; there is a reason why the industry isn't flooded with masterful portrayals of Vulcans (and other stoic races).
Vulcans have never been emotionless. They have tools to help them suppress their emotions.
I'm actually leaning toward the Romulan way being a bit better. I can't get behind their political choice, but in regards (apparently) shunning telepathic abilities in favor of retaining emotional expression.
Individually Romulans seem more stable and not prone to loosing control. Their political ambitions aside.
