I appreciate your judicious use of "I think" and "IMO". I don't think that you have much justification to think that way about your natural immunity.
For whatever it's worth, this preprint [0] suggests that your immunity, caused by a COVID infection, and my immunity, caused by two doses of the Pfizer vaccine, are similar, and have similar durations of functional protection. Note that, for both our cases, durable protection against Alpha and Delta was found after one year (but, interestingly, not against the dying variants Beta and Gamma).
I hope that you'll be willing to get the vaccine. I've experienced long term medical complications from something unrelated to COVID, and I can't imagine why anyone would want to risk something like long COVID, especially someone who's already had it.
