I will also remain a full node until the bandwidth and space requirements to run one start to become unbearable to my resources...

The blockchain isnt even 100 gigs yet. I still run a full node on my 10 year old pc.

I will remain a full node until the bandwidth and space requirements to run one start being too much demanding, which I don't see happening in near future, if ever.
Also, if pruned nodes weren't as safe, they wouldn't be deployed on the latest releases of Core...

Yeah like I said before, they are the safest you can get, except not running an actual full node. I think for everyone running Electrum etc, or in general people that couldn't be bothered with downloading the entire blockchain and storing, pruned mode will be the best option.
If only we could have HD addresses in Core and improve features to storing and sorting your addresses list in a nice way, more people would run at least pruned modes imo, hopefully in near future they make it look nicer.

I was wondering if you are going to switch to pruned mode so you can be able to run Core without storing the entire blockchain, or are you going to be running a full node? I recommend that you keep running a full personally if it's not too much trouble for you, because it helps the network in the most optimal way. Pruned mode is cool cause you get back a lot of GB's for other things that aren't the blockchain, but it's not as ideal for the network and not as safe, even tho it's still way better than any other non-Core alternative.
Personally I will remain full node as long as possible, so I can contribute better to the network and have paranoid-proof experience by having the full blockchain locally.
