I agree with the caricaturing the background/less important characters part. It's why I tend to gravitate toward anime that does the same thing, make the main characters look "special" compared to everyone else. It really emphasizes their "special-ness" while making the rest of the world more believable. But like you mentioned, it can make the actual main characters boring "Disney" protagonists if not handled carefully, or if the main characters don't at least some sort of "normal-ness" we, as normal schlubs, can latch onto, as well.
A little something I need to think about the next time I do some world-building, thanks for the insight!
