Trading the 35mm 1.4 and 18mm for a 23mm? some advice needed

So, I've been thinking lately, my favourite FL is the 35mm (50mm), but I often find myself taking a couple steps back to frame, I mostly use this lens on the streets, also as my normal carry around lens. I've never tried the 23mm (35mm) but I've been looking around a lot of photos within this FL, and I really like it. I think I prefer it over the 50mm FL.

I see lots of people using the 23 as street, normal, everyday, and it seems to do the job a little bit better than the 35mm, which can get a bit narrow.

And the 18mm I got, it almost never see daylight, it's a bit too wide for me, quality wise it's just fine, fast AF and so on, just a bit too wide.

Question: Would the 23 perhaps hit the sweet spot, the best of both worlds? what are your thoughts 18/35 vs 23
