Like you, I struggle with the same issues. It’s hard to pray for my (our) enemies. We are to judge fruit tho. Behavior/actions.
I am very cautious with imprecatory prayers for the very reasons you listed. And yes, imo, are mostly reserved for the evil behind the individual or group behavior. Spiritual warfare.
Yet King David prayed imprecatory prayers against his (human) enemies… and a man “after God’s own heart.”
So, I guess it’s between you and God. Sorry, not much help. 🙃
