How often do you launch a fresh terminal though? I start mine with a script to have favourite tabs ready at boot and then generally not much afterwards.

Constantly. I think we've used the excuse of "well, what if you just launch it less often?" enough to excuse bad performance defaults, especially when alternative solutions fix the issue with very few trade-offs.

Maybe once a minute, though it's bursty so more like 4 times every 4 minutes, but I still didn't notice the nvm slowdown

For every query and commands. I don’t use a DE, so pretty much everything is cli based. I use xterm and it’s bound to mod4+Return for me.
