I found Toki Pona to be way too simple and there's too much ambiguity. It's a neat idea though. I like Esperanto better.
The big question is really if its possible to 'think' in the language. Have you been able to get into the stage where its like thinking? But then your thought feels limited? I feel like people have proven its possible to think in it though I'm not there yet. I am still at the puzzle stage. Thinking it in unlocks abilities like how AI are now are able to think in terms of human language.

I was approaching that stage when I was learning it, but I'm a bit rusty now since I haven't used it in a while. There are definitely people at that level though. Check out Esperanto youtubers like Evildea.

Usually if you can't think of a word, you can insert the English word in your thinking and make a mental note to look up the vocabulary later.
It's a really fun language. It's a shame there aren't more speakers.
