The trick is to use right alt as compose key. This way I can write virtually any character (e.g. á, ß, §, ō...) in an intuitive way. E.g. ø = Compose / + o, æ = Compose a + e, etc.
I regret not using ANSI much sooner. I switched 10 years ago and I couldn't be happier. All symbols are in the right place, which helps a lot when programming.
Not op, but I use this system which has instructions for installing to Linux, Windows, and macOS. [1]
It's described as "QWERTY for Western European languages" and supports quite a few characters with simple AltGr (right alt) key combos.
Alt+o = ö
Alt+a = ä
(American living in Europe, I haven't wanted to move from US QWERTY physical layout, but needed an extended character set in daily use)

US, with the typical ANSI (long) return key.

This sounds good. What system do you use? This is a custom keyboard setting then, right?

Linux. Any Xorg will support this. I think support in Wayland is not complete.
