Same here. Vim's new "default" to tie middle-click paste to vim's buffer rather than the X selection drives me up the wall, every time. It's not just that I have multiple machines to administer, it's that there's multiple users (roles) to configure separate things. And for every user my default workflow is now broken.

I've given up on vim. I'm now teaching myself Emacs on my own machine, and replace vim with neovim everywhere I can.
