I think you would be remiss to give up a bike you truly enjoy because youre afraid of losing it. I would recommend keeping the U-lock and getting something like this in tandem to lock up your bike. Also change over your skewers and seat post to non-quick release, if applicable. There's strength in numbers: lock your bike up at a rack or where there are a lot of others parked and hopefully in an area with a lot of foot traffic.
That's a good idea, I've got one of these with another one on the way.
A thick chain with a sealed lock that can't be broken by ice spray. Something like this: https://www.abus.com/uk/Mobile-Security/Bike-Safety-and-Security/Locks/Lock-Chain-Combination/Steel-O-Chain-880
In German, but here's a picture of a customer in this Amazon review. Someone wanted to steal his bike over night but has given up.
