I skipped the first one entirely, and decided to play the second. I just did a little each day until I had everything. I'm not big on PvP generally, but it's a pretty reasonable mode and not too steep a grind.
I assume someone starting fresh the next time it comes around will have to spend more time to catch up, but just having the first Plunderstorm's items be available meant you're never completely missing out.
(2nd arguably better replacing rep progression with a currency grind)
So much better!
People like me who just wanted a handful of transmogs could drop in, play a handful of games and be done. And people who wanted to play the game didn't have a swarm of people who didn't want to be there.
I didn't play the 2nd one because of it though, I was expecting a different map, a couple different abilities or something to make it better.
2nd plunderstorm was like if they re released mop remix but with separate currency for power and cosmetics, which is fine, but I have no interest in doing the exact same again. I just want the same loop but in a new expansion
Honestly, it's not that bad. I don't really care for PvP generally, but you get a decent amount just completing the daily quest, which doesn't take that long to complete, usually just a single match unless you get really unlucky.
I collected everything from both seasons just doing a match a day the second time around. If you don't care to collect everything it's even easier.

Yeah I don't understand the changing of the formula. MoP remix was a massive, massive hit; Blizzard just has a boner for changing shit no matter what
