Very nice family room!
I insulated, dry walled and painted my garage /shop when I first moved into house. Figured it would never be empty again. I wanted a comfortable place to do projects otherwise they are hard to finish and quality of work is not consistent in a shop where the temperatures vary from -10 to 100+. Materials, tools, and finishes and ME struggle in such conditions. Climate control makes a big difference imho. Even noise and lighting are important to me. I moved air compressor to a small equipment shed outside shop. I surface mount power now. easy to add or change in conduits. Also in the process of installing cat 6 to 4 locations. I dont like wireless performance and its easy to add such things. As you noted above its more work then you think just takes time and money. Recently I spent I bet over 50 hours replacing 2x4 florescent lights shop lights with leds. took almost 1200 watts of 2x4 fixtures and now use 300 watts. keeps shop cooler in summer. use less a/c to cool shop. and I do have hvac in my shop.

In your case I would be running a dehumidifier. not cheap power wise. but keep tools nice and dry rust free
