Go ahead and miss stuff. It'll be more fun on subsequent plays-through if you're still discovering new things. It's also more enjoyable to come across stuff organically than if you turn it into a chore.
I used to be a completionist; it made games less enjoyable. If a game is good enough to make missing some content a loss there's a strong chance I'll want to replay it in a year or two anyway so I've learned to let some things go the first time around.
100% agree with you, being a completionist also sucks the enjoyment out of games for me. I feel like I'm not as far along as you and still have to "get" that I don't HAVE to explore and find everything. Just takes a while, probably. :) It's hard for me to decide whether a game is worth exploring extensively or not.
It's a good attitude -- "if it's that good I'll replay it one day anyway" -- though easier said than done sometimes. (Particularly in a game like, say, Dying Light 2, where you can lock yourself out of tons of sidequests by simply progressing the main story.
