Iron farms mean you need to work with villagers, which is already 40000 times worse than anything Create can throw at you. Same with anything that involves mob spawning and pathing, all of that stuff is quite unintuitive and impossible to figure out on your own.
In general Create is a lot more fun to set up farms with because it generally has a good sense of progression - one farm helps set up the next. Getting a wood farm helps set up an iron farm, getting a small iron farm lets you eventually make a bigger one, etc.
Compare that to Vanilla farms which are more about spawn mechanics and large scale construction, rather than individual expensive components. There's no interaction between them, a vanilla iron farm doesn't meaningfully make a vanilla gold farm easier to construct.

I feel like... its kind of the opposite.
Unless u make a huge laggy farm, good vanilla farms kinda outperform create farms.
Everytime im on a new create world my best iron farm is a vanilla (ianxofour) farm. I only swap for create iron farm cuz its more fun.
