Is there any cool benefits from overcome the fear of insects?

So basically, I’m planning to get a crested gecko and want to create a bioactive enclosure, which sounds really cool until I realized that it would definitely need bugs to maintain a beautiful, naturalistic setup. I also heard that crested geckos eat bugs too. However, I’m really afraid of those bugs and find mealworms disgusting. An enclosure with fake plants feels like such a boring place to live and would need to be cleaned often. What is your experience, and is it worth it?

Thank you.
