This all reminds me of my friend, who doesn't really have a programming background, but uses Tasker (an Android app programmed through a UI) to automate tons of stuff and is incredibly happy with it. Meanwhile, I've had tons of ideas of things I'd like to automate, but never did, because Tasker is clunky and not "reliable" or "the right way", and a "proper" approach would be "better" or Tasker "might stop working / be unreliable". In the end, he has accomplished a lot more than I have, even though I supposedly have a much better foundation for accomplishing those sorts of things.
That is to say, I admire your approach here. I appreciate that you've just gone with it and did what many people on here would look at and say "that's insane".
There's a lot of power in just doing something, in the environment that's most readily available to you, and not getting hung up on the best way to plan it out and do it and make sure it's reliable and durable. You're exactly where you want to be, and the other person is sitting back at the start still planning.

Thank you for sharing.
