Think also about how you would like your observing session to happen. By that I mean do you just want to rip through as many objects as you can, or plan a session for selected targets. And then there is everything inbetween.
You are asking opinions, I can only give you how I approach this hobby now after 30 years.
My time, like yours, is limited. For me now it is about setting up with the least amount of fuss to be at the eyepiece for as long as I can. The electronic gizmos, for ME, only got in the way. A finder and good chart is all I need. The hunt is the appeal as much as the sketch. It is slow and easy going. Home life and work is manic enough, I don't need the same level of frantic pace in my hobby. It is my unwind time.
Look, if you like going camping, consider that you are there to get away from it all. Don't only think that a Goto is only about packing in as many objects as possible. I think it can be a trap many folks fall into. It is a powerful tool, but only in wise hands, otherwise you are really only just a hoon in a hotted up space buggy.
All I'm saying is think about what appealed to you about astronomy that had you go out and get a scope and then stick with astronomy after the initial romance wore off. What kept you going back to you 130mm reflector even after you realised that the image through a scope was nothing like those pretty pictures. It wasn't tear arsing from object to object.
A goto can be a fine investment. Just don't confuse quality time with quantity of objects,
