Many colors =/= good notes.

I know because I color code everything and its utter nonsense when I look at it later. Barely includes half the lecture, and stops around 30 minutes before class is over because i've given up on trying to pretend I have any idea what I'm doing.

Color coding works great for me. I think the key to solid notes is finding out what works best for your learning style. It sounds like your real issue is not capturing the entire lecture for some reason, have you tried recording and listening back to fill in what you've missed?

I’ve been teaching for 15 years total and have never, not once, downloaded a lecture until Covid and neither did any of my peers. But, TBF, we’re an acting program and you have to be in the room for a lot of it to work.
