I’m not too familiar with Ubuntu, but the arch wiki has a section about moving /usr to a separate partition: wiki.archlinux.org/title/Mkinitcpio#/usr_as_a_sep…

Maybe using these instructions, you can still offload /usr to a mechanical drive.

Just out of curiosity, how large is your /usr directory? Mine is only 30GiB (arch Linux, kde plasma with all apps + hyprland), which only takes up 17GiB on my disk due to btrfs compression (zstd level 15).
