How would going to a hackintosh and loading on the Apple software you are skeptical of help you?

Mostly because I don't particularly need macOS for anything else except the app development work. Other stuff, I can get done on Ubuntu. I am looking into whether I can run MacOS in a VM on Ubuntu.

I do it in a VM in Esxi. It’s just for some minor chores so doesn’t need to have any performance, but it’s good.
