You are smart to know your limits and keep what makes you happy.
I'm here to tell you though, that if you follow the same protocols every time, you can keep "ich prone" fish fairly easy. Everything that enters your tank must be treated though, that includes rocks, snails, shrimp, nets, tubes, hands, etc. not necessarily all by cupramine. But there can be no cross contamination of potentially untreated water to ich free tank water.
Knock on wood, but my tank has never had an outbreak of ich in the past 4 or 5 years and I'm keeping multiple Angels and tangs, including an Achilles, I believe that is due entirely to the steps I take in quarantining fish.
Like I said though, you are smart to know what makes you happy and to just enjoy what you have, that's not always easy In this hobby.
