I did a GmbH with "Musterprotokolle" so virtually no lawyer fees and quick and easy to set up.
And a GmbH is limited liability. It's in the name. Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung. GmbH.
The Geschäftsführer is liable for certain (avoidable) things in either case.
The difference is that that the Co KG can be taxed like a "Personengesellschaft". So you wanted to optimize taxes, which leads to a more complicated structure.
You are certainly allowed to choose such a more complicated setup if you think it's better for you. But then don't moan about it being complicated. It was your choice.

I don’t understand why you’re deriding someone for explaining why establishing a common business structure is slow and complicated.
The fact that a less advantageous business structure is available faster, but with significant tradeoffs, does not diminish the problems with this business structure.
