I agree with your general sentiment that it's sometimes hard to find opposing viewpoints on this topic! As the biased author of this piece, I will shamelessly plug our recent article attempting to answer some of these questions here: Is Deflation a Problem for Bitcoin?

I would also recommend you read Nik Bhatia's fantastic book "Layered Money" which is available on Audible.

By far the best economic thinker in the bitcoin space is Lyn Alden, and she recently put together a fantastic series called What is Money, Anyway?. She and Nik both present very nuanced and fair/balanced perspectives that don't seem as extreme on one end of the spectrum or another as compared to other economists in bitcoin.
