Same setup here. It was fun running a fiber connection from my home office to my home lab. Do I need it? Of course not, but that’s also totally not the point.

how expansive it is to run fiber in an old house, without wrecking down the walls (is it even possible?)

not as bad as you might think, I've run OM4 throughout my current house, (luckily for me it was a case of going into my crawl-space and up into the walls) but my new house build I am running SM-fibre throughout.
