what really stops me from going digital

While I principally agree with the statement above, I'd like to add that achieving top-notch results using an enlarger requires much more time, effort and careful work than scanning & inkjet printing. The average amateur with a DIY darkroom will hardly achieve technically perfect enlargements with well above 70 lp/mm on a regular basis due the amount of error-prone steps required.

I have to disagree here. From time to time I teach younger photographers. So far all of them have been surprised how easy it is to make prints in the wet darkroom.
All of them said scanning is much trickier, more effort and time is needed to get satisfying results.
And with enlarging you can exploit the full potential of film. With amateur scanners the resolution is limited at 50 - 70 lp/mm and you get grain enhancement by scanner noise.
