The spawns that kill me the most are the 20 minute spawns where the named
spawns as a rare spawn. We have wasted weeks trying to get those. Only a
few hours true, but that's weeks for us unfortunately.

You're in luck then, as the longest regular respawn time I've
seen (excluding the multi-hour and multi-day respawns) is only
40 minutes. In fact, most of the ones your level are like
15-20 minutes.

Sounds like your problem is you don't know enough people
you're willing to group with for a shot at one of these named
mobs. The access is there, you're just unwilling to take
advantage of it because of whom you choose to group with.
It's a variant of the problem solo players complain about -
that they can't really kill most of the named spawns solo
unless it's way green to them. This is a grouping game. If
your grouping is sub-par, you're going to miss out no matter
the rules.
