Overheaven doesn't even follow JoJo's canon it's utter crap.

I should specify that I was srs about Stone Ocean being good, but saying all parts had best plot was half joking about all the other parts (except Phantom Blood) being really good. Obviously SBR has the best plot.

DIO was nice to Pucci because he was manilpulating him, and because Pucci revered him as the god he wasnted to be. In fact Araki does try to make it clear Pucci is being manipulated into evil, his whole theme is based on a "wolf in sheeps clothing;" he's a priest that wears priest colthing, but his stand, representing his soul, is Whitesnake, which is a band name ofc, but also refers to the idea of a snake (meaning the devil) colored white to make it seem pure, and has abilities directly inspired by the devil, that is manipulating people and their souls (through the discs) and creating illusions (using the acid). Besides, he's very clearly established before that DIO is the personification of evil itself, I doubt he even thought he had to make it more obvious than it is. MiH is used by Pucci to reset to where people know their fate, but it clearly isn't exclusively for that purpose, as killing the stand made it reset the world in a very fundamentally different way. (Also it's strong as hell even if you don't reset the world at all)

DiU's plot is a mess, yeah.

Battle Tendency had a pretty good plot, it just struggles from wanting Joseph to be way too much of a protaganist. However, the plot still makes sense. He beats ACDC by tricking him with sleight of hand tricks ACDC had never heard of. Actually he has to do the same for Wham and Cars; he doesn't get anything from Caesar except the nose ring. So same applies to Wham and the first fight with Cars. None of the three fights show a mastering of hamon necessarily, he just can keep the breathing going in battle. All he ever does is send it through ropes or strings or things that wouldn't be that difficult for him before training were he not exhausted. And rthen the final Cars fight he of course wasn't even what defeated Cars.
