I fully understand your thinking, but I am using LMS to listen now and I really like it.
I keep my Tidal and Qobuz library there and make user of Virtual Libraries etc and now I have 4 Ropiee endpoints and DAC’s connected I can happily switch between them.
Also being mostly retired gives me the time to try new things and decide whether they are worth keeping or not. When I was full employed and engaged I never found the time, but now it is project to project. I think I have gotten LMS where I want it, and I like the idea of using AssetUPNP with Symfonium to try some ideas 
(I went 4 years without changing anything and just using Roon and it was great but it was becoming boring, which now I think about it should be the goal, just settle back and enjoy the music)
