How has everyone else found Catalina to date?

I have a 27inch iMac and Macbook Pro, both circa 2016/17 and a few weeks ago finally decided to upgrade. I've had an abundance of issues since...

Issues I've still not been able to diagnose:

iMac:
- I cannot connect my external monitor at all. I've followed all the tutorials, nothing works (HDMI display port), it simply will not recognise displays anymore.
- My computer crashes due to lack of external display(this existed pre-upgrade) but is made worse as I now have no external display.
- 90%+ CPU usage on processes like photoanalysisid, accountsd , nsurlsessionid etc etc. I force quit but they come back before long.
- Emails with attachments sit in my outbox (using mac mail with office 365)

MBP
- The fan keeps going nuts.
- 90%+ CPU usage on processes like photoanalysisid, accountsd , nsurlsessionid etc etc. I force quit but they come back before long.
- accountsd etc using an insane amount of ram

Anyone else has these or have any tips for fixing? I've followed tutorials, deleting some log files via command line, enabling screen recording for the displays(there's nothing for me to toggle on and off!) and installing drivers but nothing works!
