I've been using a Mac since 2012 for all manner of work and personal use cases. I haven't needed to disable SIP to do anything in quite a long time. I used to need to do this to install kernel extensions for audio, but this is no longer required for systems that support AudioKit.

Basically, I don't see any impediments to doing anything I need to do with SIP enabled at this point. I'm not sure what GP thinks the impediment is.

I’ve had to disable it a few times but for niche stuff. I like to run LittleSnitch and monitor all outgoing network connections.

Regardless you still had to do it. Anyone that doesn’t do it is in a restricted use case for the machine. That’s my point which I made clear in my original comment. Disabling it allows you to use the machine outside of restriction. Fancy that!
