honed metal doesn't have a degradation system built in but it's definitely worth using alongside one because you can pay smiths to repair your gear in addition to crafting. i swapped out loot and degradation in this playthrough for equipment durability system instead since it's a bit more lightweight and easier to configure imo, might be worth a try for you. still ain't perfect tho https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/109899
