Not to have oven

Refurbishing our kitchen. AIBU not to have an oven at all, but buy decent air fryer? Those of you who have air friers, could you do without an oven?
There are 4 of us. Pre-teens ask mostly for crispy, fried food (which they don't get because of oil), and I just had a thought we don't need an oven.
Am I a bit daft?
Do not have air frier atm.

Crispy, fried type food cooks AMAZINGLY in an air fryer. Chips, onion rings, chicken bits, all come out way better than in an oven. Lidl Skin-On fries are as good as any restaurant chips I’ve had done in the air fryer.

I don’t have a “main” oven. I have a microwave combi oven and have managed to cook Christmas dinner in it (granted only for 3). My oven broke ages ago and I bought it as an emergency measure but actually I realised I don’t need a big cooker anymore. I’m also switching to a 2 ring hob from 4. I never ever use more than 2 hob spaces so why waste the space. Do what works for you.

The larger air fryers can do anything an ordinary oven can do, quicker and cheaper. I have a medium sized af and am thinking of upgrading. Or even having two. Main oven is already largely redundant.
Don’t forget the airfryer is actually just a small oven.

As I wrote above, we are family of 4 with 2 pre-teens. Should I get max capacity NINJA air frier of 9.5 litres or smaller?
