i feel like mad artist ruins my runs sometimes and with enchanced weapons i eventually cant gain enough gold to get more heroes.

for mad artist, you should unlock a mode to print ballads and save them for future runs in the writers shop. the mad artist works with that, and doesn't corrupt any of the lines. So you are able to get the lines you want faster. Also, its good cause it allows you to get the illustrations faster, the main ones for me being the cheese cellar, the flower one, and the double chorus one. (with cheese mages you font need cheese cellar).

for enhanced weapons, you only need a few heroes to attack anyway, so the extra damage is helpful for me. like you'd only need one cultist, or one beast for most of the damage, then you spend the rest on building a small team, and flowers. This is what I do at least, I have all of the modes enabled when i play except maybe the double monster one, cause I have the beasts with the bow, and i like the x1000 damage when only one monster is there, making it easier to take down bosses. hope this helped lol

I personally tend to have the mad artist turned off on a lot of my runs. I've been keeping it on for the last... week or so, as I've been farming burned manuscript pages. As that largely scales off ballad line, so the double-written line makes it incredibly nice to get a lot more pages.

I keep enhanced weapons on, pretty much all the time. But I have a high enough gold gain that, even with using all the ambrosia, I can keep a full party, if I so desire, up until around zone 130. Anyways, I think the extra damage is highly useful, and I typically never go for a full party; enough people to raid the caravan, some buff units, some debuff units, and one or two attackers.
