Any recommendations on a non bleach chemical cleaner? I can't find anything that works without getting on a ladder and scrubbing for an entire day.

What exactly is your issue with a cleaner containing bleach as an ingredient.
I'm a firm believer in Jomax with a bit of added bleach in a pump sprayer. Spray a fair sized area, let it sit for several minutes and then hose it off with a garden hose with a fairly strong spray nozzle.
I have a pressure washer that I use, but my house is a 2 story and it's nice to have a stronger, higher reaching nozzle.
Jomax and a bit of bleach will not harm shrubbery and I will hose those things off well as I move on to another area.

Bleach will kill the mildew/algae/mold. Otherwise the growth will come back quickly.

If you're worried about bleach/chemicals damaging your lawn/plants, water those areas before you being spraying your home. Wear protection on yourself as well.

30 second cleaner has been very very good to me

I'd rather not put bleach on metal shutters and bolts/hinges.

It's not like you're using a heavy dose of bleach. You mix the Jomax, bleach and tap water together and its diluted enough to not harm plants and grass, so I seriously doubt it will harm metal.
It's not like you are leaving it on the surfaces for a long time. Maybe 15 minutes at best.

Just use a pressure washer and it will remove most things. Prob will have to clean more often though.
