I can’t think of a single VOY episode with mind-melds that didn’t have a character treating it as a super taboo or dangerous telepathic ability.

Because it IS dangerous. Trek lore has established that mind melds carry the risk of neurological damage, emotional overload, and Panar Syndrome in the melder.
And even if all of those risks are mitigated, mind-melds are incredibly personal and Vulcans don’t engage in them flippantly.
