Goethe literally stated multiple times (in fact costantly in his later years) that he, in his opinion, lived the perfect life

in that case almost everybody had a great life because subjectively everybody adapts quickly to all kinds of stress and most geniuses had a remarkably optimistic attitude, were convinced that everything would fall in place for them eventually, if not in their lifetime then in future.

Again, give me a break: HE GOT SICK FOR 6 MONTHS.
That's it, that was the struggle of Goethe. Before that he was a beloved prodigy, after that he was the most revered romantic genius in Europe, living what is now considered one of the most interesting, beautiful lives that have ever been.

OP asked for writers who did not live a tough life, I don't think that this is a tough life, or at the very least only 6 months of it have been so. What about the other 82.5 years, which were the best experience any man not born into roiality could possibly imagine?
