The part that got me was "sometimes experience makes me hesitate." That's exactly it. I know the 30 steps. I can see the whole pile of work before I write the first line, and the pile is what stops me, not the idea.
What I've settled on is the same as you: make the smallest version, put it in front of real people, and decide from what comes back. AI helps most with the drafting and the reorganizing, the stuff that eats an afternoon. The decisions still have to be mine, or the product stops being mine.
