You’re right. Though unlike what a lot of others will tell you, there’s not a lot of outright filler. Most of the added time is from panning shots and characters staring and not talking.
There’s actually a fan project that re-edits the series to take kess time and improve the pace a lot
There’s a whole bunch of fillers each time they remotely catch up to the Manga and several “guides” about which ones to skip etc.
It’s not too hawrd to catch up if you make it a consistent low-time commitment like watching half an ep on the pooper
Do a search for “One Pace”. A good feeling pace is about 2 manga chapters per anime episode but the anime creators reduced that to 1 chapter per episode when they started running low on material. One Pace edits the anime to 2 chapters per episode and has it follow the manga more closely.
A sample of a scene from an episode with both versions compared:
you can’t condense 1000 20 minute episodes into a few hours
Definitely, but I’d be willing to bet a good chunk of those 1000 episodes could be cut without losing much of the plot.

Geez the pacing of the original is ridiculous. I could never sit through whole episodes of that lol. I might try out One Pace

I’ve never actually watched it, but my wife does, and I’ve seen enough to say you’re 100% right
