I've heard a few scary stories from people about long-term adderall usage weakening their heart muscle but they are/were not particularly healthy individuals

What an affront to computing modern UI design is.
Often, the problem when making such choices, is that fear short-circuits the thinking process. "I may switch to Clojure and not find a job; NO JOB? POVERTY! POVERTY? DEATH!" whereas a more correct thought process would be: "I may switch to Clojure, enjoy it but not find a job. How long can I do without a job?"
This will allow you to explore and discover the safety nets you have around you. From experience as a former doom-thinker: such safety nets are more prevalent than you'd think.
Are there any phone manufacturers that still let you root without potentially bricking the phone etc?
In my past I've worked with multiple places that absolutely loved open-source. Because to them it was "free". Something they could use in their products and then charge customers for. Often these opportunistic parasites would never contribute anything back; going out of their way to work around missing features or bugs rather than trying to fix or contribute towards the codebase.
I doubt that these companies now, despite depending on such OS, would pay paying money/contribute; no matter how administratively trivial it became.
Belgian news has an item every half-year where some big shot company boy complains about how difficult it is to get (good) ITers. This gets thinned down to "there's not enough ITers". Reality is that they refuse to pay for the quality employees they NEED, so those work elsewhere/leave the company/work remote.
