We bounced from one short term plan to another for daughter between ages 18 and 22 as she was living in states which had them.
Be aware, that they are generally only 90 to 180 days maximum in length, so you will have to reapply/renew during the year. Also, if you are likely to need to use your health insurance coverage during the year, whether intentionally for preventive care, or unexpectedly for an emergency room visit, be aware that it will likely be more expensive than if you had a normal ACA plan. Deductibles are usually high. And remember, since it is only 90 to 180 days, your deductible and out of pocket maximum are going to reset each time you renew.
Now, if you are a healthy individual who rarely goes to the doctor, the short-term plans are a great thing. I haven't been to the doctor's office in over 15 years, and the last time was for a routine physical. Unfortunately, my state does not offer them and won't.
We had a very well rehearsed plan for daughter, and it worked out very well - the insurance was only for major emergencies - where hospital visit was required. Her plan of attack when needing care was 1. CVS Minute Clinic, 2. Always know where the closest Urgent Care clinic was, 3. Emergency room. She never required more than CVS Minute Clinic - they were very efficient and extremely affordable. She used it 2 or 3 times a year. Good thing with Minute Clinic - when they prescribe drugs, it's right there.
One unexpected benefit with the first short-term plan we had when she was living in Columbus, OH - it included physical therapy. Daughter is a dancer, and routinely requires physical therapy during the year. The first short term plan included it - obviously intended for rehab from a bigger medical necessity. However, daughter went to the Ohio State University sports medicine center (big state of the art facility where all their athletes go) and the short-term insurance paid for it!
From your description, it sounds like the short-term plan may be a good fit for you.
