Yeah - I mean, at some point, I think virtue ethics can kind of break down, especially as it gets more specific. But I think it's a starting point for a lot of things.

"What would Jesus do?" stuff (which is what my understanding of virtue ethics is about) doesn't feel to me like it's useful for making actual difficult decisions as opposed to motivating you to do things you already believe are right

Yeah, but I think usually the decision isn't between right and wrong, it's between acting and not acting. It's always easier not to do stuff.
