I agree, iTunes is trying to do too much making it complex but it is highly customizable. As far as I know, everything you are trying to do can still be done in the latest iTunes.

All the information you want to see about your tracks is still available, you just have to enable the fields you want to display. There are a couple ways to do this. I just right click on the bar (where the arrow is pointing) as shown below. You can also sort on those fields by clicking at the top of the column.

Keeping separate copies of ALAC and MP3 tracks is a hassle especially since there's no need to do this. When you sync to your iPhone/iPod, iTunes can be configured to automatically down-convert your ALAC files to AAC on the fly during transfers. This has been an iTunes feature for several years now. I keep ALAC & AIFF files on my car iPod but in the screen shot example below, I enabled conversion to AAC. I do this conversion to AAC 256 when I sync to my wife's iPhone. She's more about quantity than quality.

There are a few commercial alternatives to iTunes for transferring music back and forth. Some have been around for a while and are highly rated. Do a Google search. I don't use iTunes a lot these days except for syncing my music to iDevices. I use Roon. It automatically discovers my iTunes library and uses it's own superior user interface on my computer or iPad for the home system.
