Returning player question: Is durability still as punitive as before?

I'm thinking of getting back to the game after almost a year (stopped in August 2025). I'm just wondering: Is the durability still as punitive as it was back then? That was one of the major things that put me away from the game at the time. Worst part was the fact that on top of recrafting stuff you had to also re-acquire the blueprints which felt overly punitive.
