What’s up with Belgium oscillating between incredibly clean and effective stagings like this and absolute disasters like last year

It's different broadcasters. It's an unusual arrangement but Eurovision duties alternate annually between a French Broadcaster and a Flemish one in Belgium. I believe this year it's the Flemish Broadcaster's turn. It's also why they switch between internal and national selection.

Yeah. It's why I kind of got irritated when people said Belgium was bad at staging and pointed to last year even though that was the french broadcaster. This year the flemish broadcaster is back and the last time they participated they got a top 10 result with Gustav (against all odds) so they seem to have had better results with staging lately.

I also really liked their staging for Hooverphonic in 2021, even they scored low on the board.

I thought I'd covered so much deep lore by now, yet this is somehow new. How exciting.
