i recently drank the bambu labs koolaid and it is seriously worth it.
I immediately test printed bunch of stuff using petg and pla filaments using the default profiles. everything came out perfectly. i had no problems as long as i didn't go overboard messing with slicer settings i didn't really understand. It was truly a plug and play experience.
things to note about m5c:
- it doesn't have build-in camera. tbh, it is not really needed. i created/printed my own mount for a wyze v3 i had sitting in a drawer.
- there is in no screen or control on the printer itself (other than one big multi functional button). instead there is a phone app that controls everything via either bluetooth or wifi.
- there is a usbc port where you can transfer print files directly but it's much more convenient to send stuff to the printer via either slicer on PC or phone app wirelessly.
- it comes an all metal hot end that can go to pretty high temp so it has ability to print with almost any filament.
printing directly from the phone app means anyone without any knowledge of 3d printing can use it but if you want to go further, like designing your own parts via cad software, fine tune slicer settings etc, it can do it as well. there is probably a upper limit on how much tinkering you can do with this printer as is it not completely "opensource" and "modular". but it is unlikely to be a problem for most normal users.I have learned a lot since getting this printer. although i do not own any other printer and can not directly compare them i have no regrets getting this unit at sub $200. let me know if you have any question i can help you with.
also i had a problem with a noisy hot end cooling fan. support was pretty responsive. they sent out a replacement quickly.
I might be thinking differently than you, as I enjoy seeing my work (in tinkering) come to fruition. I work in Robotics and this is just about the same type of thing we do for work (and I enjoy work, a lot! )

(Which is shockingly able to throwdown vs a coreXY!), I changed everything on it motors, toolhead, custom machined heat blocks, new motors for X Y & Z, you name it, i've done about 99% of the mods to it aside from linear rails... Every component change (tinkering), has a cause and effect.
I put a new motor in? Needed new motor configs, new current configs, other parameters were changed as well (I went from 0.9 to 1.8 motor for higher resolution on prints). That's just some small details...
Imagine you changed something simple like a heat block, but since it's CUSTOM, and no one else has done it... You need to machine your own heat break lol, and design a new fan shroud! SUPER fun, but can be very time consuming.
I am really over the whole tinkering aspect now... With my daughter being born, I don't have a lot of time to tinker anymore.
I've learned A LOT in 3D printing in terms of HW along my journey.
