TNG is the epitome of competence porn. With the exception of Barclay, everyone is pretty much extremely capable at all times except when the plot includes some space shenanigans that make them less so, like turning into kids or losing your psychic powers.
That was my favorite character arc in Voyager. Barclay redeeming himself for all of the wild shit he did in TNG by sticking up to his superiors and pretty much getting kicked out of Starfleet in the interim.

Barclay seemed to be very competent albeit unsure of himself while also nobody believing in his abilities.
Didn’t Barclay do some impossibly smart things to help Voyager?
Yeah he even had to go behind Adm Paris’s back to do so
Yeah he had the misunderstood savant role in Voy. He single handledly developed intra-galactic communication.
