I'm agreeing with what you're saying for the most part ric mainly but if you
have a little sucker fan in the corner of the room and you keep the hardener
out of your Rapid fix working in the darkroom is a low odor experience. The
biggest smell is that of the stop bath and that stuff is not going to do
anything to you unless you take the concentrated bottom of Kodak indicator
stop bath and stand on your head and pour it up your nose.

Me I've been farily intensively dark rooming from 1965 when I was 13 to 2001
when I was 50.
I designed a darkroom with a sink big enough so I could lay out 20x24"
trays. I used an Aristo VC cold light. Variable contrast.
I gave my clients fiber not RC prints in the last ten years of my careers.
And hung shows up prints up to 20x24.
