It is a pain in the ass. Sometimes a huge pain in the ass. And colour is very expensive. But at least the volume is low. If you think you can handle low volume, high hassle / expense, then LF will suit you just fine
I shot 20 sheets of colour this last year. The total cost was $130 canadian or more, including processing & film costs. I like two or three of those images enough to bother with. The rest are kind of crappy. Big outlay for 17 shitty images and a couple that I don't mind and one that I actually quite like. But that's just the nature of this type of photography. The learning process is slower, the shooting is more careful and more error-prone, and it may piss you off at times. But it's got its benefits as well.
I use my digital much more than my large format because of the cost - especially for colour. The last year especially as I've had a lot of big life events which have interfered with my focus on LF photography. But there are times that I get into the LF mood and nothing else will fulfill. It's worth experimenting with for awhile at the very least. Don't over-invest in it until you're certain you want to stick with it. Get a decent used camera and lens and work with it for awhile. If it ends up being not worth the effort you can resell your gear, and if you like it - well, keep doing it!
