This is brilliant. There is a common thread at play here: as a highly paid FAANG worker (or in my case finance worker) any unit of mental energy or headspace you have is probably better to invest in your job - where it can generate 5-7 figure financial returns in the long haul - than in adding or maintaining complications in your life that can only save you 3-4 figures. Whether that's investing in farmland or solar futures, opaque insurance products, complicated tax optimization strategies, credit card churning, or even homeownership, which is more time consuming than renting due to the various maintenance obligations - my personal rule is, if the financial return on anything like this is less than $10K, nix it, and use the energy to figure out how to do my job better. Otherwise I'm just being penny wise and pound foolish.
