Agree with all save for your last sentence. I think Walz did fine against a slick venture capitalist lawyer who has gone from "Trump is Hitler" to "Trump is the savior (of me and my friends)" to "lying is fine if I do it". And Walz exposed Vance for what he is in the last few minutes of the "debate". And most of the articles I've seen think the same.

He left some of Vance's lies unchallenged. In particular that Trump saved the ACA. I would have also liked for Walz to have reminded Vane of his previous statements supporting an abortion ban. Had he done those two things, I think it would have blocked Vance's effort to seem like a reasonable person.
Tim Walz was not the smiling, waving person we knew when he was chosen, and at the beginning he was looking at his notes. But he came on strong against the constant lies of Trump/Vance.
