I changed my Gaggia MDF down to 3 from 4 when I started on the YB espresso. 18g > 36g but in about 20 ish secs as the OPV was still set to 12 bar.
Still using the MDF for the Lelit Mara but back up to 4. Shots are consistently better than the classic,
Before I started with YB I was using Taylor Street classic or Notes Espresso blend and had the MDF set to 4. This was standard for about 3-4 years...

I’ve been through two bags of YB espresso beans on a Sage smart grinder pro /Gaggia Classic and I cannot get a shot to behave itself.
Even cranking it down to grind size 4 and a large-ish dose it just gushes through. Switched to a bag of Red Brick and everything is spot on with grind set at 8 same as previous bags of RB.
Are light espresso roasts problematic on mid range domestic kit?
