My suggestion: Be an empiricist and run the experiment. I've been using strong 8+ character alphanumeric passwords on my devices for several years, and it’s rarely a bother.
Sometime ago, I even started using randomly generated complex passwords for my work account, and I was astonished by how effortless it is for me to memorize a new such password every 90 days.
As they say, your mileage may vary, but at least run the experiment, you might be surprised.
