Tournament of Power is a major let down

[ekrolo2]

Okay, so Goku can't complete Ultra Instinct because he's afraid for himself and his friends and is possibly feeling panicky about the difference in power between himself and Jiren but him feeling angry about Jiren attacking them, an emotion that's more clearly demonstrated then the fear and panic Whis mentions are doesn't throw him off? Didn't he feel shock, fear and panic for his friends when Jiren initially went after them too?

Let's not kid ourselves, Ultra Instinct runs on "Super logic" where in one episode 2+2=4 until the next one has 2+2=482

There's a difference. Goku's mind was idle, focusing on things that had nothing to do with the fight, on the safety of the universe and his lack of power against Jiren. This brought on fears, panic and hesitation, which distracted him from the fight itself. When he finally focused on Jiren and himself, he let those idle thoughts disappear, now he could land effective attacks without letting various thoughts interfere.

Except the iddle fears and concerns when Jiren attacks his friends, that has nothing to do with the battle either but Jiren does it to purposefull throw him off and instead of Goku suffering repercussions for losing his focus, he just gets mad about external factors again and powers up from it. After we just established that letting these factors influence him is what held him back.

Besides convoluted or pedantic work arounds to make sense of bad writing, there's really no way to reconcile how Ultra Instinct flip flops between being a friendship or rage thing to being something you can only improve by essentially not giving a crap about fears or panic.

It's not a convoluted workaround. That's what you are doing. Trying to prove Goku protecting his friends DURING the fight somehow interferes as a distraction.
When Whis only stated panic, fear and hesitation is what corrupted Goku from mastering Ultra Instinct [external]. How does protecting his friends with rage mean Goku is afraid or hesitant [internal]?
Where does it state that indignation concentrated ON the fight means outside factor? NONE of those are idle thoughts, those things actually happened MID fight.
You are going against the story and simply stating an external hindrance that isn't there.

Goku isn't protecting his friends with rage when he goes to intercept Jiren's blast directed at them, he's shocked, paicked and fearful IE EXTERNAL FACTORS influencing him again as they did previously is what prompts him to jump in and block JIren's attack, the anger only comes later and yet Goku's fear, shock and panic at external things don't matter the instant he realizes what Jiren's trying to do and he has to scramble to stop it.

I literally do not see how Goku momentarily becoming shocked and worried for his friends safety when Jiren tries to kill them is any different then him worrying about what'll happen to them if he losses. It's the same thing, except in episode 129 Goku is supposed to not give a fuck and then in 130, we need him to care so his next Jiren beat down looks cooler.

Cause Whis stated one emotion stems from "confusion [129]" the other is from "pure impulse" when protecting his friends [130].
