Approval voting is hard. My voting preferences pretty much match ranked-choice model, but approval requires reducing that to just two levels, so setting the bar is either arbitrary, or requires much information about decisions of other people.

This is a common intuition-based fallacy. The total information throughput of approval voting is actually GREATER than for ranked methods, when you factor in the tabulation efficiency and tactical voting effects.
