I had a similar revelation. But I went a slightly different direction with it. I have filters for anything that I anticipate getting but I know isn't urgent. All those filters do the same thing, which is "Skip the Inbox/Archive", but leave as unread. Every couple days I go through them on my computer where I can cycle through them with a single keystroke per email. So I think of it as a 2 inbox system. The regular inbox is known important or unanticipated emails. Searching for `is:unread` gives the non-urgent stuff. An important part of this is the keystrokes. I start from the oldest and just cycle through. No real action or decision needs to be made on the majority of emails.
