Is this too small? For jumping, technical, downhill and uphill terrain. Bike is beyond great, just feels too small. The saddle is a thicker one to add height. Extremely comfy but not lightweight so it needs to go but with the normal saddle it's uncomfortable to peddle while seated.

Looks a bit small for aggressive riding but close enough for average riding. Though I’m not seeing seated position, pedal stroke length, etc.
I could say more if I knew bike size and rider height (and inseam is relevant if outlier proportion).
What is your height and what is the bike size? Those two measurements give a ballpark to proper sizing.
A normal mtb saddle will feel uncomfortable pedaling until your rumpus is used to it and it won’t take long to become comfortable with them. I thought the same thing when I first got my bike. Bigger, cushioning saddles break down proper pedal technique because they keep your hips from moving in the correct manner needed for optimal pedal strokes
