It’s a strange spiritual anarchy that accepts the king but rejects the kingdom established by the King!
Well your experience is not the same as that of many others. Even in what you say, it's good to remember that it's the Word that defines our understanding of what God really means, rather than some notion that we think that God has just revealed something new and different to us alone.
The real anarchy is a self-perpetuating hierarchy that justifies itself rather than follow God's Word.
By the Holy Spirit. It is the Spirit that quickens into life...not just words. So the bible and the Spirit work hand in hand. The letter kills on it's own...but the Spirit gives life.
How about God defining what God means?
Not men or men's traditions or men's understandings. Hence I can't embrace Sola Scriptura.
Tradition: handed down or made known
Jn 15:15
Jn 17:8
Rom 16:26
1 cor 11:23
1 cor 15:3
1 thes 2:13
Eph 1:9 and 3:3
2 pet 1:16
2 Thessalonians 3:6
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.

Let God speak.
Do not confine it by men's traditions/interpretations.
I acknowledge that you and I disagree here, but I do passionately find the be the "Sola Scriptura" to be a placement of men and men's traditions above God Himself.
There’s thousands of denominations claiming both the Bible alone and the Spirl teaching controversy doctrines

I don't think you can. The Truth comes from the Word and the Spirit. Then you can discern, because you are a spiritual person. The natural man just thinks everything is foolishness.
As for Paul, he tells us, himself, what is from God (inspired) and what is not, so that even when he doesn't say, we can tell the difference.
But Jesus and the Bible say we have to be taught divine revelation by the apostles. My 28:19 and acts 8 the Bible alone was not sufficient?
acts 8:30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

And lots of denominations claiming Traditions all.
Such isn't remotely proof that "we should all be Catholic!" or anything like that. It's not proof of any group being correct. If a person want to know which group/view is correct, then they're going to have to put the effort into studying and researching things themselves, and follow those conclusions.
That is 100% a jab. We literally just went over this.
