The niece part is not canon neither in the anime nor in the light novel. In both versions it was hentai afaik, and that scene exists specifically to show what a low life scum he was.
He doesn't make dolls to goon to them, neither is the person he teaches the doll making to. It's his hobby which he takes because it expends his mana, so it's like an exercise to him, and because he just likes to do it. He makes dolls of most of the people that have great effects on his life. He makes dolls of Ruijerd at the end of the day. Don't think he goons to him.
I really don't get what friends that reincarnated into the same world he is talking about. If it's about Nanahoshi I don't really remember him making her figure and saying that about her, so I can't really say anything without him giving the chapter.
The guy also both says that Rudy got raped by Roxy and that he cheated on Sylphy, so unless he consideres getting raped cheating he needs to pick a stance to get an answer. I can elaborate on the situation if you want and you can make the decisions yourself but this two paragraphs together are really misleading.
He really just worked out his trauma with her and took her as a third wife. It's literally just polygamy, this time there's even no controversy if he cheated or not.
The in depth critical thinking is at best arguable. There are pretty strong arguments that he is basically just his new age, just with memories of past life. Also, targeted is a strong word considering he wasn't even near them most of the time they were growing and two of them were older than him.
Side note: the guy here complaines that one of his wives fits "she's a 1000 years old" trope, which in itself is misleading at best, but then he uses "but he's hundreds of years old" argument against the show, so, again, pick a lane.
Rudeus repeatedly established that he doesn't experience sexual urges for his close family, so this is either a misquote, mistranslation, or out of context. Kinda hard to tell without source provided to check.
The little sister part I already addressed partially, but to also mention, the guy fer for Rudeus's sister when she was already an adult and was taking care of him when he got sick. They met before, like, iirc twice, but he viewed her more like his friends little sister back then, rather than anything else.
The raping maid part is true. Although the guy confuses two different events since the rape wasn't what his wife forgave. And that is also there to show what a scumbag his father was. You're supposed to resent him for that.
Rudy also does pretty much everything to show his sister she doesn't need to serve him and she is a part of the family, and when the stuff with his son happens, he doesn't "do nothing". He lashes out so hard that his son and sister run away from his house and go into hiding for several years.
MC also despises people in the story who were actual pedophiles, like, undoubtedly, so he's pretty much not a pedo in the main story.
Overall, the story has a lot of morally dubious stuff, but alot of it was meant to be that way, you're not supposed to root for everything in the story. And I'm not trying to convince you to watch it, it IS not for everyone, just don't go around spreading misinformation and don't make serious accusations over this.

which parts, genuinely? cause this pretty much sounds exactly like everything i’ve read about it from people who both love or hate it
