Computing is as simple or as difficult as you allow it to be.
Personally, I find AIAB+WinUAE on my little HTPC the easiest way to get a taste of Amiga now and then, a LOT easier then trying to set up a "modern" Amiga with the jumble of OS patches and low-production-run/low performance/high-cost expansion cards.
But, each to his own.
