>>God works in mysterious ways beyond our comprehension and the world allows for the forces of evil to also work in it (e.g. Christian theology)
That's the lazy cope-out of not making them characters, just laws of nature that just happen to react to poorly defined concepts of good/evil.
>>God or the Gods have some restriction with how they can intervene with the word
That's making them characters and making responsible for their actions toward super-god or any reasons that required the restrictions
>>God is a route to divinity that people follow but is elevated in the realm beyond our world and therefore isn't directly impacting it (except through His followers)
If I understand that one, that's Cultivation powerlevel ladder where you need followers to have god-like power. Obviously characters, but then you don't actually have god(s) who created the realm and its inhabitant, unless it's also a chain where once you become god you create your own world, ad infinitum.

>the sapience of a creature has to do with the race.
You missed the point.
When you are a god creating creatures for a purpose, you are expected to know/have set their limits, even if they sometime surprise your near-omniscient mind.
So UNLESS you make the plot "creature surpass master", sapient creature are no more relevant than a simulated farm animal, or that Black White game.
