While I'd love the bamboo and have enough yard for it to "roll over" and not take up too much yard space I think it's just gonna be a pain in the arse to upk

Clumping bamboo is literally zero upkeep. If you want to shape the clump you literally step on the new shoots coming up. They all tend to come over a few week period so it is not like you have to do it all year.
