Why do 403b have such I fees? I almost want to stop contributing all together or just minimum 6% to meet the match. Possibly just rely on the pension but what if it’s underfunded when I retire?

Almost regardless of fees, it makes sense to put up to match. Worth complaining to see if you can change it.
