Few side notes, I’m a new(ish) father with very little time to take trips to far away tracks. I also have a few higher end gaming PCs that I’ve built, so switching to PC would be very easy for me.
Thanks in advance for the input!

I'm a bit late to this conversation, and I wonder if you made a decision in the end? I got into sim racing because I wanted to learn tracks before going there for track days. That was six years ago. I still enjoy the sim. Earlier this year I dropped something on the YouTubes about practicing for track days in sim, and somebody asked about my setup. So I posted this:

There's a follow up vid, linked at the end, where I then went to the actual track. At the end of the IRL video, I overlay sim and real footage, whilst explaining how and why I find it valuable. So if you've only got 2 mins to spare, there's a chapter marker to take you straight to that conclusion.
Hope you're a managing to find an enjoyable balance of fatherhood and driving 😁
