No you aren't.

If you want the ability to add _more_ packaging systems, you are
asking for _more_ complexity while complaining about what is there
now.

If you want _less_ choice, go try Debian. You'll find it is a lot
harder work, made of older bits, and needs more maintenance.

Or if you want to take more steps away from the mainstream, and want
to lose systemd as well, I suggest MX Linux. It's the best
systemd-free distro I have seen, but it needs more knowledge and
maintenance than Debian, and Debian needs more than Ubuntu.

Devuan is considerably harder still.

Alpine is harder than Devuan but dispenses with Apt and .RPM format
and everything else and has its own format.

So does Arch but then you will probably find you need things from the
AUR and then you'll need another tool.
