Use whatever works for you.
The *arr + torrent client setup just works so well, I can't be bothered to change it. The *arr software automatically picks out good torrents that are the format you requested and that are seeded. I never really saw it not saturate my connection. For movies, I have to wait a few minutes (depending on file size and my own connection speed). For TV shows, new episodes are downloaded automatically as soon as they are released, so I just have to select the episode under "new episodes" in my media center app on whatever device I'm on.
Even if I were to use a debrid service, I'd probably still use a VPN for it because I wouldn't want them to log my real IP.
If that works for you, that's absolutely fine. No judgment. You do you.
All I want is for people to know that there's another alternative to torrent clients and VPNs. That said, use what you're comfortable with, but if I can convince even one person that there's a better way, then my job here is done.
I have nothing to gain from my little crusade; I didn't even post an affiliate link even though the option is there. Just trying to inform those who are interested. There's no wrong way to sail the high seas, just faster routes to your destination. ;)
Edit: And BTW, your IP logging concerns were addressed in the reddit thread I linked to.
Can you point me to where my concerns are addressed? I read the following:
How does this address my concerns of the service itself logging my IP address though?
Logging IP addr and payment details unless they take monero.*
