Better alternative pipeline?

I’m doing non destructive editing in Lightroom Classic and moving files over into Photoshop occasionally for finer editing

How do I replace this workflow?

Lightroom CC is unmatched in terms of non-destructive editing and library management. Support for RAW files in numerous formats, easy cloud syncing, smart previews that take up significantly less size on your mobile devices, and serve as a proxy for small tweaks, easy sharing, etc.

People give it a lot of crap for being a cloud subscription, but I was already paying a bunch of money for cloud photo storage. Now I pay the same fee, except I get there very good desktop and iPad apps to go with it.

I’m using Lightroom Classic CC

To clarify, is Lightroom CC superior?

The same cloud subscription applies

I had used what is now "Classic" for years before CC was launched and it always had horrible performance issues.

There might still be some small feature gaps but I haven't noticed them. Personally I prefer the new UI (which is almost the same on MacOS, Web, iPad).

You can sync a set of collections in a library with CC to get the best of both worlds. I still prefer Classic.
