Aside from hooking up my signing device and generating a fresh bitcoin address every time I need to move to cold storage... is there another way?

What hardware wallet and app interface are you using?
You should be able to load up the xpub address in an app like sparrow (for Mac/pc) or nunchuk for mobile, and you can derive addresses that way without having to reconnect everytime.
Trevor and their Trevor suite. I've got an old computer I plan on installing Linux and making a node but haven't gotten around to it. The previous old computer running windows server was my node but it died
If you use sparrow you don’t need to connect your signer to receive. Make sure to consolidate UTXOs every once in a while if you’re stacking up lots of smaller balances over time. I personally don’t want a long-term UTXO that’s smaller than 2 million sats.
that leads to many small utxos
later as fees go up they may be too small to move
