I know what you mean, for sure. I have had a few beats lately that I initially thought all parts were dope, but then when I listened a few days later, felt it could simply do without one part or the other and edited accordingly. Revisiting the project after a few days to get an alternative perspective is a good idea.
Side note, Alice Cooper does unconventional chord progressions/changes and he is very revered/respected and is extremely skilled as a writer.
Post an example of what you are doing and we can be much more specific with feedback.
