Roughly how big is your back yard? Any trees over 30' high?
( I did work Antarctica from Texas once with a Bnut HF-9V and about 8
radials, so even a blind pig finds a truffle now and then ...but your
instincts are correct about there being better alternatives ...8^)

I have as much of a compromised antenna for 160 as you can get.
A Butternut HF2V with a 160 coil, mounted on a chain link fence.
I have a small lot with overhead power lines across the back of the property,
and Am looking for a better idea.
I’m thinking a hi impedance feed point antenna ie:450 ohms would require a much
less extensive ground radial system than say, an inverted L with low impedance. Easier
to match a 450 Ground than 37 ohms.
Am I nuts? Anyone with ideas along this line of thinking?
