Seriously,... is there ANY .357 Mag. or .38 SPL ammo that DOESN'T shoot well in a 686?

I've never found any.

You either shoot light .38's if you don't want the recoil and noise, or you shoot full-on .357's BECAUSE you want the recoil and noise.

Am I missing something?

As a matter of PERSONAL PREFERENCE, I quit stocking 125-grain .357 bullets. I now only stock 158's. Only reason for this really is that in addition to the buncha .357's I have accumulated, I have also accumulated a buncha .38 SPL's. The fixed-sight .38's shoot to point-of-aim better with the 158's.

After 40+ years of collecting this stuff, the ammo-components pile really had gotten too big. I don't miss the 125's.
