I've been using OnShape for the same sort of work. For now at least it's less user-hostile, but it's web based so they could still turn on you.

I'm still hopeful that Blender will become a great parametric modeler. Check out the https://www.cadsketcher.com/ add-on - it's getting to the point where I might take the leap.

Sweet, will look into those, thanks.

I just spent a while in wonder at a node-based parametric design tool for Blender called Sverchok[1] - looks super powerful but wayyyy too much for my 3D printing toothbrush holders and phone stands haha.

CAD Sketcher looks much more like what I'm used to.
