Exactly. It was same for me. I started with Ubuntu and switched to arch after the whole snaps thing. Arch with i3, didn't understand a lot of things. Just copied other's setup and learned through mistakes. Switched to hyprland cause Wayland is the future and wow the way he riced must be so relatable to so many here.

I used to have a waybar but noticed too many technical limitations in it. Switched to ewww, way too complex and bad documentation. Switched to ags, was good till version 2 came out which is also complicated. Now I'm on ignos shell, which is still new but gtk4 based. I love it. Rofi has remained the constant but I might try replacing it with ignis too.

Tbh i haven't tinkered a lot recently, everything just works but of something fails after an update, i have so many options to fall back to xD. There's also hyprpanel and other similar projects that you can copy in case of a problem.
