I just don't have the energy to find a new client and build up my collection again... How do I know that a random product won't sabotage my future use at some point in time? Do I really have to build everything myself to be safe?

Use something that doesn't auto-update and always works offline. Automatic updates are an anti-user "feature".

Gotta just use curl

You can use Hurl [1] an open source CLI tool based on plain text and libcurl! (I'm one of the maintainer)

Does it make any requests not directed by the user? Undisclosed telemetry is common in this space unfortunately.

No, you got what's you write. If you want, you can see the run curl's command, save it in a script and replay it without Hurl. You can check the source code here [1]
