I liked the fast zombies trend while it was a thing. A horde of angry, sprinting madmen that ignore pain is a really good apocalypse. And it works well in non American countries.
Actually, it's a great example of why feeling no pain is dangerous. Napalm and the like burn flesh. but it takes a long time. A normal human would spend their last few minutes thrashing around. But our theoretical zombie is still moving forwards because you haven't damaged anything important.
Humans are already tougher than most of the animal kingdom. A human that keeps coming at you until it is rendered inoperable is insanely tough.

A normal human would be dead from carbon monoxide inhalation in seconds. Hollywood flamethrowers are all flash and flailing, but in military use, most of the dead aren't even pink, much less crispy.
A flamethrower is a chemical weapon with terrifying visuals.
The premise of Walking Dead that everybody is infected could also work because people sometimes die randomly so entire society has to be restructured to keep people safe from each other. And you're going to make mistakes when you are under pressure.
Show had two problems, that it sometimes took a very long time to turn so cast can cry about it (should always be instant) and the zombies were too stupid and/or slow. They have to be a challenge in some way.
Zombies aren't really the best apocalypse. They require a lot of dumb decisions on the protagonist's part. It really pulls me out of the story.

It doesn't matter how much they ignore pain if napalm and flamethrower exist

Napalm actually fuses your muscles with a direct hit. Doesn't matter if you can't feel it if your muscles no longer function.

That's why you need Nazi zombies
