i went on an exhaustive search once for this and the answer is anything labeled yuri or shoujo ai is made for neckbeards, but that isn't surprising

better f/f relationships, as with better m/m relationships, tend to be in works where romance isn't the focus, which usually means it won't be labeled with any of those. looking for romance manga/anime is digging through the no-returns clearance bin for the same reason you don't go hunting through the bodice-rippers for good books

i've found some pretty enjoyable gl (including romance-focused), but they're usually manga or webtoon. they're not the thing that gets picked up by animation studios.

As the anon above mentioned, it's rare to get yuri anime, especially anything featuring adult women. The anime out there is often centered around high school girls, which gets labeled as made for neck beards.

The adult GL works are more in manga and light novels, or webtoons, or coming out of indie/smaller studios. Thailand has started producing GL dramas that are getting increasingly better (higher production, better writing quality, more marketing). These are definitely made with women in mind as the audience.

I do agree that the better f/f relationships are in things that aren't romance focused, but that tends to leave things ambiguous. Though a lot of m/m ships come out of stories that also do leave things ambiguous between the male characters.
