I mean, realistically, it sounds like you're just asking for the older version of D&D stat rolling - roll 3d6. It results in a lower array, more centered around 12, but still has the chance for both low and high stats at much more rare odds.

It does indeed seem pretty simple and convenient. The graphs look good, more accurate than those by dice.run. Are they from another generator?
Those graphs are from anydice. I'm not familiar with dice.run, but anydice has been around a long time (15+ years at this point) and is what most people i'm aware of use for comparing dice stats. It can be a little confusing to use, but its pretty good.
