Not sure why you need to rebuild a carb 2-3 times a year. The only things I can imagine is rusted gas tank, get an inline filter, cheap rebuild kit parts or you are doing something wrong.

I have two injected bikes. One Honda and the other a Harley. The Harley is my road bike. I keep it on a Harley Service plan. The Harley has a tuner, cam mods, intake mods and exhaust. It belchs put almost 90 HP and 101 foot pounds of torque. I can't even set the idle let alone the mixture. You need a computer and the Harley program.
Harley puts on a computer during any engine service.
The other is a Honda Big Ruckus. It is a fuel injected 250cc engine. You have to take what you get. It has no super tuner or any way to alter fuel/air that I know of.

I like carbs. I can tune, clean and rejet them in my sleep.
My old CX500 has carbs. My 305 Honda Dream and Honda Elsenor even have points, holy cow!
