Honestly, fish is the only thing I hate about Garuda. The variety of commands is good, but doing any kinda scripting in it physically hurts me. Wish they kinda just stuck with a more conventional shell like zsh.
still do the scripting in Bash for portability reasons,
For what it’s worth, Debian and most of its derivatives use dash (a Linux port of ash) instead of bash for /bin/sh. It’s ~4x faster and uses much less RAM than Bash. Usually the only scripts that use Bash are scripts that aren’t POSIX compliant or that use Bash-specific features.

Feel like most people still do the scripting in Bash for portability reasons, and then just run Fish as the interactive shell
I use fish, have never once written a fish script. Just write bash scripts and they tend to work fine, otherwise run em in bash
