Our aversion to making changes to lifestyle and habits is based on the initial, not long-term, difficulty. I went vegan about a decade ago after learning about factory farming, but it quickly stopped feeling like a sacrifice at all. My food bill is much lower, and even the most basic vegan cooking becomes delicious with the right amount of monosodium glutamate, which, contrary to debunked myths, isn’t bad for you at all. It’s just a sodium atom and a glutamate molecule, both of which are essential nutrients.

So my understanding is also that MSG isn’t bad for you, no disagreement on that.
But there’s a weakly implied argument here that if you take two essential nutrients and put them together you can’t get something which is bad for you, and I don’t think that’s true.
