As an artist and designer I somehow can't get over the complementary hues in the Lab color space, NCS complementaries fit much better visually.

The main advantage of mathematically derived and absolutete color models like Lab is that they can't be protected by copyright. There is an intiative that tries to be an alternative to Pantone in that market: https://www.freiefarbe.de/en/

There's an also an interesting lecture on YT: https://youtube.com/watch?v=JAR6zDkboJU

Here some more infor about color circles and systems: https://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/vismixmap.html

Lab isn't the only perceptually uniform color space out there, have you tried any others?

Jab is a fairly new one, maybe it works better for you:
