security can very well be convenient, it's all up to you.
To some extent yes - it's all about balancing what's practical/convenient vs what's actually secure.
For example, using the same password for everything is more convenient than using a different one each time. Using a password manager is a good compromise, but is still more inconvenient than just using the same password for everything, especially when there's no autofill. Using MFA always adds inconvenience, and the things that make it more convenient bring the potential for vulnerabilities. Using a hardware key (like a yubikey) is probably the best form of MFA, but requires the extra step of having a physical device.
Bitcoin is objective and irreversible, and to take security as seriously as is necessary, there is going to be some inconvenience. Engraving a seed phrase into metal is less convenient than writing it on paper, but it's disaster-proof.
And I mean, ideally, your single-sig recovery process doesn't require going to a second location. That's inconvenient. But it's safer than keeping everything at your house.
