Also, artillery has gotten bigger and boomier since then. If it was bad then, it’s likely worse now.

True, but we've got better protective equipment as well.

Hmm. Wasn't WWI "peak artillery"? We use 155mm and rockets now, right?

Artillery has actually gotten smaller. Propellant charges have gotten "boomier" high explosive instead of smokeless propellants hence the traumatic brain injuries on the teams firing them.
