Vocal alignment

What are people’s go to vocal alignment when it comes to manual/stock methods. I’ve been doing the cut and nudge but it’s soooooo time consuming. But I’m learning so I don’t want to skip this process with something like VocAlign just yet. I sometimes use flex but it always seems to mess my takes up in parts, introducing artefacts to parts that are stretched or squashed.

I recently saw a method of using a lead vocal as a groove track and ticking the backing tracks to follow that lead. But it seems to mess with the takes too much to the point there’s almost like a tinny, robotic doubling to them. Any advice here is greatly appreciated also.
