Is it worth taking all the effort and struggle with the privacy friendly apps if I am using Apple devices?

I know how you feel, this is called a burnout.

I don’t know what your threat model is, but if you trust Apple by all means use it.

But I still think looking into alternatives is a good thing, but you don’t always need to replace what you have if it works.

BTW, have you looked into digital minimalism? I don’t know your needs but this helped me a lot with my personal burnout. For example, for notes you could just use a notebook and for cloud backups use hard drives. It could also benefit your privacy.
