Not a niche opinion at all. It just depends on who you are asking that question to.
There are plenty of non-action/less action anime (You and i are Polar Opposite, Love Unseen Beneath the Clear Night Sky, Akane-banashi, Nippon Sangoku, Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, Oshi no Ko) and the that list goes on which prove that you don’t need need constant action to be great.

That’s most shounen anime for you. Look outside of shounen and you can find lots of good shows with less action or none at all.
