Striving for perfection is the enemy of progress. Your issues will follow you wherever you go. I’m also old and have problems. My fingers are too fat to play chords, and they ache after playing. That’s the short list. I’ll spare you the long list. I share your view of the TAC shortcomings you mentioned. I have decided to accentuate the positives and downplay the negatives. I have more than one learning avenue, community college class (It was way more awesome than I imagined it would be.), assorted YouTube videos, and guitar song books. I hope in some small way this helps you find what you are looking for.
