Personality-wise the Taoists has better composition of characters than EoSD whose popularity relies more on the diverse of the resident's species/role/ethnicity. The Taoists could go very well together as comedy/SoL material.
You have a wise but kind-of-narcissistic Miko, a hyper but stupidly outdated Futo, straight but hot-tempered Tojiko, annoying and intrusive Seiga and completely braindead Yoshika, and those not counting their unique gimmicks. They are also clearly very close to each other except maybe Seiga and Yoshika but for the former that can be part of her quirk while the latter can be a mascot or passive source of jokes.

Meanwhile, 3 out of 5 SDM characters are stoic-kind of characters that has to be dumbed down to make interesting/funny interactions, except for Meiling and Flandre and even their personalities are kinda hard to go well with the entire cast, only few. Not to mention their personalities are also rather vague.
Their relationships are also often depicted as one-way than spreading evenly. Sakuya is either only cares for Remi or Meiling but rarely both, and usually for each case the other one must be a buttmonkey. Patchouli never cares about anyone except Koa or Remi but even those are kinda rare since people are too busy pairing her with outsider like Marisa. Flandre also only has connection with Remi while fanon has to stretch it to pair her with Meiling.
At least with the Taoists, even if Seiga is distanced from the main 3 it's easy to picture her messing around with them.

That being said, the potential of the Taoists cast is underutilized. For some reason the prominent Taoists artists like to draw battle doujin (Kakao and makuwauri for example) or pairing Miko with Byakuren. The only ones I know who utilized that potential are that one MMDer in Touhousubs and perhaps Fuantei.

Just my opinion, though. Maybe I don't look at/think about SDM much enough, got their personalities too influenced by certain part of fanon or just overall biased/lack insights.
