That's pretty close to my own view. I've moved the tough to manage stuff outside and leave the easy to manage stuff inside. I still wear PPE in both cases, because that is the simplest, cheapest, and, most importantly, reliably does the job.
Some of my equipment pretty much has to be outside anyway, because my shop is just too small for both boat building and a bunch of dust makers.
I'm also doing more of my work with just hand tools. I find it pleasurable and being just a hobby, it's not like there are any time pressures. And now I'm retired, so I've got even more time.
