ATLA is kinda immature and exaggerated in some places yeah (which is something way too many people overlook) but the second?

Missing frames? Exaggerated expressions? Outside of a few comical scenes, LOK much more subdued and refined. Most fights are meticulously detailed and not missing frames, even setting aside the realistic posing they do for both shows.

A lot (but not quite all) of the animation is 12p, but this is standard for anime, no?

I know because I went through parts of both shows frame by frame, trying to get training data... There are some sketchy parts Studio Pierrot did for Book 2, and all of Book 2 is interlaced, but other than I could hardly even find bad example frames.

LOK is much better in that regard, but sometimes it introduced comedic moments and animation in places that were supposed to be dramatic and thrilling instead. It was really odd. But the battles were generally very good.

True. I like some of the mixed comedy, but I wish both shows was darker where it needs to be dark (like the novels). In reality... they were Nickelodeon cartoons.
