Is my front door too heavy for the hinges or...?

They are supposed to have bearings, thats why there are two gaps.

If you leveled the plates, and noted the clearly eroded surfaces (angled face), I dont believe there are supposed to be bearings on this particular hinge. Additionally, if it had bearings, they would be on top and bottom journals, not bottom and middle.

Unless it had thin bearings/washers between all journals.
Can't imagine enough wear to creat those gaps - there would be piles of metal dust on the floor from four hinges grinding that much metal away.
check the other doors in the house and see if their hinges have bearings/washers.
Either way, easiest to just replace hinges with new.

Yep. I have some worn hinges on the door between the garage and the house. You will definitely see material on the floor below the hinges when the gaps start growing.
