I wouldn't beat yourself up, unless you're able to leave something for about 5 years, or have no weeds etc then no dig is not that viable intially.
We are two years in and after a ton of digging are at a stage where we don't need to, but if we had left the plot as it was with no digging would still have nothing but bindweed.

Dug up this massive amount of couch grass root from a patch of about 1m square :(
Was supposed to be a no dig bed, had covered it with cardboard and manure then black plastic for about a year to give everything time to die off. Loads of worms and bugs in there which is good but annoyed I've gone and broken up the soil structure completely.
