Aw raspberries! All Trek shows are fulla technobabble. They toss it in to keep the tech geeks happy and have something to debate when they burst out of their cubicles.
Voyager plots are just as implausible as TNG and any other Trek show. Believe you me, I'm a techno-geek and question every anomaly.
I could go on about the constant need for deuterium or warp core dynamics and temporal theoretical physics and how even the old Trek didn't make sense.
There are a ton of continuity errors and part of the plot's problem solving is techno babble. It is 'science fiction' so you gotta have some science in there.
Sure I couldn't stand Neelix at first. I couldn't wait for him to get killed in the premier episode, but little by little as Tuvok came to understand he was the most versatile survivor of the crew.
Where any Trek series goes wrong is when they forget about 'us'. We, the character's ancestors. How does what we do and fear to do affect their future existence? That's why the time travel episodes are so popular.
It shows the ramifications of our mistakes.
Now if you REALLY wanna debate sci-fi continuity issues I'll start a thread about "Lost In Space" the other great show.
