I'm assuming at 720p though

Don't bother playing it above 720p

I am playing at 1080p, playing with any resolution patch, even if it makes the resolution lower, adds a lot of issues to the emulation. To get 1080p you gotta have at least 6GB of VRAM and 32GB of RAM, though I have seen people saying they already beat the game with 4GB of VRAM and 16GB of RAM (obsiously, they had to play in 720p, so I guess the problems I had with this patch are not 100% occuring, as I get a lot of crashes when playing with this patch).
Higher resolution, AFAIK, also adds more VRAM leaks, leading to eventual crashes, so it's no way to play the game for a long amount of time, but I believe when the emulator will mature enough, it won't be a problem. Also, a lot of people use upscalers from full hd to higher resolutions, but, personally, I have an allergy for upscalers.

Guess I'll continue the wait then. Not complaining. The strides taken forward with this are insane.

It will only get better, I first tried to run the game like 2-3 months ago and it was unplayable mess (though my PC was not up to the standard). It is possible that Bloodborne eventually will achieve a state of near native port performance, but we have to wait a year or so for this

Man, I don't know if it just me getting older, or me refusing to adapt to BB tactics, but this game IS HARD.

Blood-Starved-Beast absolutely kicked my shit in (the aoe poison build up in his last phase during every attack is just nasty), and the dual wielding scimitar boss in one of the Chalice dungeons is currently making me ... very angry. Yes, I know that I should just pistol-parry him, but surely there must be a way to fight him without parries?

There is definitely a learning curve for BB. For the BSB you want a serrated weapon and fire, you can also parry her. Even a couple of molotovs are a huge help.
