[POE1] Is playing SSF-Standard viable for a long-term comfort game?

After playing POE2, I really need to scratch that SSF itch where every single item, effort, boss, progress is a thing that I personally made instead of traded for a lucky drop or two. My issue with SSF is that I really don't have the playtime justified to reset the SSF progress every league.

However, I've been thinking of just making an SSF Standard selection of characters that will forever be just my "comfort grinding game" where I log in a few hours every week, progress, chill and grind while not worrying about the perfect farming strat, or the next reset, or the next pair of meta builds.

Does anyone play that way?
