I’ve heard people complaining that the lack of save points close to bosses, and boss fights that are made more difficult due to adds more than boss mechanics seem like artificial ways to increase the difficulty. Do you agree?

Silksong is hard, yes. The checkpoints are not close to the bosses, but I wouldn’t say the run backs to bosses are different to the original Hollow Knight though.
What is different is that a lot of enemies even at the start deal 2 damage, something that was specific to the hardest bosses of Hollow Knight. So no, it is not artificial but just increased difficulty from the start.
And in the end all game difficulty is artificial, since you could easily change it. Either you like the difficulty level of the game or not.
What I do not recommend is playing Silksong without Hollow Knight first. Because the whole of HK is the tutorial for Silksong.
