Definitely give it a shot. For me, the wet darkroom print is the reason I make negatives, so there is no option. The darkroom is my break from the screens of life (as I type this on a screen lol).
What gives you creative joy? For me...
Taking LF photos = joy
Pulling out a developed negative = joy
Darkroom printing = joy
Scanning and Photoshop = work
There's also something to be said for the mechanical tinkering side of darkroom printing. It can be pretty fun to tweak all the mechanical gizmos required to make high quality darkroom prints.
