Or maybe I just don't want people getting shit advice? The elitism of it all disgusts me, if I'm honest. Any idiot with an average computer can make amazing music in 2023 if that's all they have to work with. Plugins that brought our computers to their knees a decade ago will run multiple instances on even an entry-level new PC today. That's just the way it goes.

I skim your posts, just to see if there is anything other than a load of negativity.
We made our first album on a single core, single thread Athlon 800, which was cutting edge at the time. OTOH, the Core i5 computer I used for our new one, despite being the entry level model in the range, has 10 cores and 14 threads and runs at 3 or 4 times the clock speed. It's probably 100 times more powerful than the machine we used for that first album so the fact that there are other options that might offer 5 or even 10 times more performance again simply doesn't matter any more.
Now, you'll say that you regularly use most or all of that extra power but I'd suggest that's only because it's there. It's the same way everyone seems to spend all their money, no matter how much they are making. Your life sort of expands to use up all the available resources. That doesn't mean you need all that, it's just a reflection of its availability. You spent all that money and you're going to do whatever it takes to make sure it wasn't wasted. The fact you get so defensive suggests to me that, subconsciously, you probably know this.
The other variable, of course, is that the software tools have expanded to use more of that available computing power but at nowhere near the rate at which the power itself has increased.
That set-up should see you right for a while. Nice catch!
