Unpopular opinion (on the internet): BotW and TotK's weapon durability feature is one of these games greatest mechanics

Not far, I'm afraid - getting out of Depths pretty much relies on using Fast Travel.

I get your pain, I hate fast travel as well, and very few games have it done properly so that there is meaningful setback to using it.

There are several spots in the depths through which you can leave using ascend, but not from everywhere is it possible.

I have yet to find one (and I went really high) were I can Ascend from Depths, though, from what I understand, they are exception to the rule. Had a fun time yesterday in Depths (though it does starts to feel samey after a while), but was really bummed I had to use fast travel to get back to surface.

Ascend do makes sense from getting out of Depths, pity there isn't more places to use it - though I think it would be better if they went with how D&D treats passageways to Underdark.
