No. They tried for mythic, but somehow never managed to quite hit the tone. It always felt prosaic, even when dealing with gods and demons.

It's the difference between writing "on the threshold of a mighty vortex where gods might dwell" and "parked next to a wormhole". The writing in DS9 always tended to the later, no matter what the subject matter.

To an extent being part of the Star Trek EU was a problem. The universe was already jam packed of super-advanced godlike aliens. A few more aren't particularly surprising.

You’re right. It was Star Trek, so it always had the “everything is explainable with science” vibes. So it never really had to resolve mythical and spiritual matters in those terms—everything was just technology and unique alien life forms. There’s almost a disdain for spiritual matters, even as they try to respect Bajoran culture.

Almost? In Voyager season 1, Tuvok outright tells a bajoran crew member that all forms of religious decoration is not permitted in the Starfleet dress code.

There's enough in Star Trek they outright ran through a checklist of everything that might be the cause of the main threat the DMA in Discovery season 4, before declaring it to be a powerful unknown species with a designation number.

My ideas on what some of the missing civilizations might be would be ones I'm sure is not covered in the previews, like ones that's based on Salish culture, or Iroquois, or Maori, or Polynesian, or Vietnamese, or Turkish, or some part of Central Asia, or even an European culture that doesn't get much attention. But those are fine as random tables if you don't have anything in mind.
