A trackday on a 50 is about as fearfull as going for a ride on a bicycle plus they'd not qualifactions needed. Plus if you do crash 1,2 or more times you'll probably be fine and so will the bike.

OP is hinting that even though they've done level one at a trackday there have been some recent changes to their situation and seem to have set them back to stage one. I'm not saying don't do the planned CSBS, I'm recommending branching out and trying a few other things that could have other benefits. I offer in person instruction to anyone in my region but sadly they isn't the case here.
That makes sense, and I also get that same feeling. Almost like after I binned it hard last year (fear of pushing hard).

Understandable... I can agree with the little bike option or maybe even some dirt time. I have been playing in the dirt and snow all winter. It definitely helps keep the bad rust at bay.
