That's not my experience, no. I think it is probably a little too easy if anything.
I'm surprised that with Borobodur you couldn't get over 20% by that point. Were you up against some strong religious civs?
You will need to use a least some Great Prophets to spread your religion against other Founders, as they completely remove all enemy pressure which is devastating!
On the tenets themselves:
Paternalism, Theocracy, Glorious Dead
Televangelism, Fundamentalism (Radicalization also an option, don't forget you can steal and reduce Pressure!)
Great Awakening

On the tenets themselves:
- anything that gives Faith is helping you buy more Missionaries/Prophets
- Glorious Dead's Cenotaph has 10% pressure
- Paternalism gives -33% Faith cost on purchasing Missionaries -- you absolutely need this one!
- Televangelism as you said
- Fundamentalism lets you turn into if you get to "process mode" as I call it
- Finally yes Great Awakening, which is god-tier and probably too strong, at least twice as good as Borobodur
