I sometimes like to play without the lightgem. It's another element of challenge. You have to pay attention to where you're walking, though I still think it's right that it's in the vanilla setup.

One way to get rid of hud is binding with body awareness: when you take bow, you can see arrows sticking out of quiver at bottom of screen. If you want to see stocked items, you take a look at your chest and pockets under coat, or open sack. Also left hand is not so busy, so you could have light gem as watch on wrist(compass, etc) -left hand could be switched on and off just like right hand with sword.

Was not aware of that but excellent! I'm going to try that this weekend to up the challenge.
