OK, as I was saying, a single unary CSV file is easy to maintain, but it doesn't do a very good job of representing complex data with many to many or one to many relationships   In the case of DropItems, it looks like RPG Maker limits you to 3 per enemy, but there are an arbitrary number of status and element resistances and weaknesses for each enemy, which might pose a problem for more complex bosses if we are limiting ourselves to a few columns of csv. Same with the enemy action collection.

Here's a copy of the data I've pulled out of RPGMaker for you to peruse so you can see how much info I'm trying to mash. (it's in pipe delimited instead of comma delimited text files, for reasons.)
