That's KISS for you. And, while some of their music is arguably good
(I can certainly tap my foot to a lot of their stuff), KISS is image
first, music second -- always was, always will be.
And, like you say, "gimmicky, but entertaining". Sometimes I think folks
who have "sophisticated" tastes (e.g., being a BOC fan), fail to miss the
fact that stuff can be just downright FUN without having any deep meaning.
It's like eating Filet Mignon vs. cotton candy.

The above stuff, from your list, is probably the only stuff that's really
new (although they've used confetti for years, just not necessarily in
a canon). For the most part, KISS relies heavily live today on the same
stuff that they were known for in the 70s - lights, smoke, fire, and blood.
Fun stuff... :-)
