My editor balances my parentheses (Emacs Paredit). I rarely think about them. I just think structurally and the editor manages the details.

It really feels like, "when I move through the wasteland, I only focus on the path and GPS is guiding me well".
For some reasons, people tend to prefer having a walk in a forest rather than in z wasteland.
Look, if you’re committed to Blub, don’t let me talk you out of it.

You got that exactly backwards. A non-lisper unavoidably has to deal with tons of syntactic and semantic clues - parens, colons & semicolons, square brackets, indentation & white-space, special chars, static type annotations, lsp servers and tree-sitter parsers. Lisp only needs two things - a [small] set of structural idioms, and a live REPL.
