I can quite understand your choice not to seek to become an MP at this time. For those who don't know the demands placed on MPs, and particularly on Government Ministers, I can recommend Vince Cable & Rachel Smith (Vince's second wife) "Partnership and politics in a divided decade", published in 2022, which covers their personal experiences over the period from the 2010 to 2019 General Elections and has a good coverage of his role as Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills in the Coalition Government.
