Ok, so I just need to keep track of my encryption keys (or have a second complex and secure password to memorize), manually decrypt my vault to use it, re-encrypt it when I’m done, and ensure I have good backups?

What? I think you dont know how this works. The database of a password manager is an encrypted file. When you open your password manager and type in the master password it opens that file and decrypts its contents for you and only saves it to memory. It doesnt actually decrypt the file on the drive. When you close the application it doesnt need to be encrypted again. This is exatly the same for all password managers, the only difference is that with web based ones the database sits on bitwardens server instead of on your harddrive.
