So don't do that. Again, you are not forced to do anything. You don't have to run all 40 madness, you don't have to run all the tutors, and you don't have to run wheels. You're complaining that your choices have taken you somewhere you don't want to be, so choose a different path.
Sure, if you build your deck that way, it will play that way. That's my problem with everyone who got excited about playing Worldgorger combo with Anje (boring!). But the card isn't forcing you to build and play cEDH. You can build Anje a number of ways - reanimator, madness, tribal. You can try to use her for card filtering, and you can try to get card advantage through actually casting your madness cards. You can even run her in a deck without a single madness card. Are these the most powerful ways to play her? Nope. But you always have the option.
If you had a plethora of madness options
This is one of the biggest problems with trying to run a fair Anje deck - there aren't enough good madness spells to really want to play them for their actual abilities, which means you either run them all just to thin the deck, or you run less of them and throttle her down to basic card filtering. That's not a failing on Anje's part - it's a failing of the madness card pool. Maybe some day we will get more madness and have cards that we actually want to cast off her discard.
I personally think Anje's execution is fairly good. Just being able to filter a card every turn or set up reanimation is good value for a cheap, hasty commander.
