You’re absolutely right about the implementation details of Star Trek tech in the real world. But in the same way “The Lower Decks” is my favorite Star Trek series because we don’t know how much planning and logistics went into supplying the replicators on an Enterprise.
What’s the difference between storing massed of feed elements for replicators or storing canned goods? It’s really a matter of perception.

It would be very possible to live entirely isolated on a planet with nothing but a basic replicator and a way to power it. That's been explored a couple of times in the Trek universe
