Just echoing everyone here you would be better served fixing the power steering.
I do have both types of cars with and without power steering so can tell you about each.
The heavier a car is the more effort it is to turn so you don’t normally see heavy vehicles without power steering.
Off-Roading you absolutely want power steering when your wheels get stuck in a track you will be unable to muscle the car to where you need it. I would also expect that if you hit a major bump that caused your tires to rapidly change direction you could break your wrist. (can’t say I have ever tried this)
Racing - Within my circles people would say you don’t want power steering as you want to feel the road. Personally I think there are pros and cons but ultimately personal preference (NASCAR uses Power Steering)
It is difficult to make low speed maneuvers without power steering vs having power steering in situations like parallel parking.
Ultimately in your situation I would fix the system, generally there are not many parts to fix.
