They're in the process of adding layer 2 support so that you'll be able to register on rollups without having to pay high gas. Should be 1/10th of the cost in gas or less after its implemented. In the meantime, I've generally spent about $60 or so on gas fees, and since it's $5 a year for the actual registration, I tend to offset the gas by registering for more years. If you spend $100 you get a domain for 8 years. That's as good as cheaper TLDs.
