+1 I worked with someone in the late 1990s who didn’t run X Windows on his Linux laptop, just using Emacs as you do. He went to MIT, so at the time I thought it might be a thing there?

Have you tried the MathPlot shell backend, so you can get colored graphs in the Emacs interactive shell? I like that if I am doing any machine learning via SSH to a remote server.

I run X actually, there is an Emacs package called EXWM that let's you treat any application window as an Emacs buffer. I need X for applications like Firefox, mpv, Wine, Inkscape, LibreOffice, QEMU, mupdf and RetroArch, and I need font rendering.
