Don't discount an autocross either; it's not going to get you as much seat time for your dollar, but it gives you a chance to push hard at lower speeds. See how it feels when it spins (assuming you push that hard... you may not.) Still totally possible for everything to go wrong, but within the envelope of speed for which the cars safety features are built.
It still hurts if you crash. I was vaguely surprised I didn't have neck issues from the helmet, but it seems the airbags worked there and did their job.

I hear you on autocross, also on my list to try. I'm just not sure what I'm doing there either, lol. My concern is how beginner friendly the events left on the calendar are.
For insurance purposes, I can afford to lose the whole car if that's what you mean. It would probably make my original quandary easier at the very least...
Edit:. Checked in on autocross near me. Organizer said no experience necessary and they have a novice coordinator to help get new folks situated. However... All the locations are 2.5 hours away so I need to figure out if it's worth it to drive 5 hours for 6 minutes of runtime.
