After about 150 years in-game, I find myself becoming too powerful, and it starts to feel like work to continue the campaign. The save was really fun for the first 50-100 years. I even dissolved the HRE just for fun. I don't want to go for a world conquest because it's boring. Does anyone else feel the same way?

Honestly I think alot of campaigns would be going alot longer for most if they just played their misfortunate games out more often.
You got decced on and lost the war? Great, continue rebuilt and regrow and reconquer what was once yours.
You lost that PU you worked and waited so long for? Get that King on their Throne again and kill them all.
I think if players just didnt quit at every possible friction the game can create, something usually every good game does intentionally to keep the players attention and fun up, alot more fun and difficult situations. The game does some things intentionally with an AI factor at play so it becomes more random. Most players just avoid any and all challenge in the game which usually they cant but would play through if they were forced to in other games and thus actually keep enjoying that game. In most 4X games, especially PDX if something just isnt going exactly a players way most restart from last save.
And I dont mean little stupid annoying things like your 453 heir dying at 13 out of a estate regency but I mean a war you started and you actually lost and got decced on while you were losing. That I mean, just play it out.
I had that in ck2. United all of Scandinavia except for Sweden, and midway through the final war a faction overthrew me and I was back down to my only holdings. From this final war I united Sweden, pressed my claim to the kingdom I built, and it was way more fun than any save scumming could be
