You cannot effectively brute force attack a passphrase, can you? You need to contact the node and to check balance each time.
In any case, this was just to pass the airport, and then you could move the funds again to a more secure and backed up passphrase.

Why wouldn't it be effective if you are using one or more local nodes? It is just a database after all. And i think you don't even need to contact a node if you know at least one public address of the wallet.

There are plenty of ways to make things easy to remember AND secure. Don't let someone else's fear persuade you.

indeed, 12/24 words seeds are easy to remember and secure.
