The issue with Monero tradeoff is it will grind to halt once too many people use it. But sure, enjoy while you can!
Some problems you mentioned are applicable to Monero as well (e.g. IP address - just use Tor in both cases ffs) or are hugely inflated.
The biggest one is the ridiculous idea that merely being offline for too long makes you vulnerable. It doesn't. To steal an attacker must predict with very high probability whether you will be online the following x days, where x is configurable being 14 in many wallets IIRC. The attacker must literally predict the future. But I don't blame you, this idea is spread by even the otherwise smart bitcoiners.
Also don't forget that Monero has a bunch of problems. There are serious edge cases that can break privacy and it also historically had a catastrophic cryptographic bug that was luckily caught soon enough.
It's correct that there are only tradeoffs, however most people are not properly informed about all of them.
