I'd mark The Doctor's Wife at at most 8/10 and probably a lot less.

I know that Neil Gaiman is a professional writer famous for Sandman and
many more things, but this story comes across exactly like if a fan were
to write a episode and scripted the story well, but used the opportunity
to put their own fan ideas into canon rather than to really write an
episode of the series as it is.

Unfortunately, much of the modern Doctor Who has been like that.
