What is a good alternative? Would like something that works well with scale and bulk sends (e.g. where the doc is the same but name is different for each recipient)

Why do you need an alternative? It's a good product.
I don't like it for bulk sends. As a lawyer, if I need to get a lot of shareholder docs signed, DocuSign is def better than nothing, but not a great user experience. Also, always interested in alternatives even if it's just intellectual.

Another thing I really don't like is how it "forces" signatures by it's labelling system. People should read contracts, not just sign them.

Do you use the API?
Their pricing structure only makes sense for large corporations, it's extremely expensive. SignNow PandaDoc HelloSign etc have good offerings but lacking some features here and there.
But a very expensive one for what it does. You pay for the monopoly, not the tech.

Using alternative breaks the monopoly.

You pay for the brand. It's not a monopoly by any reasonable definition. There are dozens of providers and a handful of legit competitors.
https://eversign.com/ and https://www.hellosign.com/ are both great alternatives. We settled on eversign in the end and it works perfectly well for us being a smaller org
SignWell (https://signwell.com) is an indie alternative.
