Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to try that. But... if FreeCAD refuses to fillet shapes containing non-tangent curves, it's pretty useless. This means you simply can't make a great many simple shapes. Also, up above in the thread, I posted a shape that has several neighboring curves, sharp angles, and not a single tangency... and it fillets fine.
Forcing the user to make the curves tangent forces him to change the shape, which is unacceptable:

There are situations that don't need tangency. And, a simple change can make those you point to fail as well.
As for the error shown in your video. Box select the vertexes, not the edges. And learn how to determine why it is redundant and how to deal with the condition. You might want to get hold of the Sketcher Lecture linked in
@chrisb forum posts signature. It is very helpful for learning how to use the Sketcher workbench.
Unfortunately, FreeCAD has no control over improving the fillet tool until it is fixed in OCCT the modeling kernel which is an OpenCASCADE product.
The fillet tool and it's limitations is a long known and much lamented issue.
Everything you point out has been said hundreds of times here and in other social media.
You can expect similar issues with chamfer and thickness.
Sorry
