Is it only me or was the footage a bit soft (out of focus)?

I thought so too. It could have been focus or some compression issue with the video. To me, some of the stills at the end seemed to be in better focus.

A little yeah mate, For some reason on Litchi the footage always seems a little out of focus than on DJI go, even though I always tap the screen for autofocus, think I'm going to leave litchi for a while.

The stills were taken on DGI app and not in Litchi, I also edited the stills a little in Lightroom.

I always have AE locked and never have a problem using Litchi or DJI Go 4

Everyone should go to the following thread and read everything posted by @BigAl07 :-

Kudos to him for allowing the thread to develop naturally and also educating those who may not have understood the reasons why the airspace regulators have established rules pertaining to VLOS.

I thought that if the drone is controlling itself like a robot (not by a human) then LOS wont matter. I remember university students doing this for grocery delivery experiments and it broke no laws as it was autonomous using only a programed route and sensors. IDK but in my state all of the local county and city laws were recently found to be in violation of federal legislation. Some towns were putting up no drone signs which turned out the signs were illegal. They still have not taken down the signs though. As long as its under 450 ft and not within 5 miles of an airport or hospital and not over people/reckless. Its fine using waypoints like OP did.

If you are talking about the US, almost everything you wrote is wrong.

Congrats on your completed mission!

One comment: I would avoid setting up a photo mission with shooting into the sun. Perhaps pointing the camera more at the ground might help if the sun is high enough.
