I'm wondering if I should try DMing and it feels like a huge responsibility to make it from scratch (though I assume it largely falls into place if I can figure out material conditions that allow for quick improvisation)

i recommend not DMing dnd tbh, i think either going with a much more rules light system or a much more balanced crunchy system like pathfinder 2e will make dming for you easier, although i would not dm pathfinder 2e if you dont want to put in the time to read through the rulebook closely. need to consider what your players would like too of course, if they're the kinds of people who complain about simple arithmetic i wouldnt play any crunchy system unless you are playing online on something like foundryvtt
