I think I would really like to have kids, except most ppl with kids seem to have an unhappier life, no free time, much higher stress, and a worse relationship with their partner. That's a scary thing to willingly enter into.

re: many of the comments, I'm more concerned for me specifically compared to most people. I'm pretty aneurotypical, I have an extreme aversion to mundane tasks to the point that my life has suffered from it, I'm highly novelty optimizing, i have sensory issues and kids make noise

I have similar traits but I have a much easier time overcoming them when it's for someone else, especially someone who can't do those things for themselves. What's your pet-rearing history?

I had one cat briefly ten years ago but gave it away once I had to move

Well cats are inherently good in the first place and you should get one anyhow, but it's also a good way to challenge your self-narrative about your ability to care for living things.
