It sounds like OP is a non-native speaker too. I'd simplify it to this:

"The problem is that sometimes these tools are just not sufficient. It's still easy to shoot yourself in the foot and get lost in a sea of complexity."

(Hemingwayapp is great for making sure writing is not too complex)




"These tools are often insufficient" ?


"These tools are insufficient" (or: are not enough).

A tool that's "often insufficient" isn't a very good tool - by virtue of often being insufficient - it becomes [ed:simply] insufficient?
