How about using tablespoons and teaspoons instead of grams?
Grams are more precise and repeatable. The amount of paprika in a teaspoon can vary depending on whether you pour&sweep or pack it in, just like flour or sugar. If you need 5-10 g of 8 different ingredients, that’s easy; you get one small bowl dirty, you “tare” the scale after you add each ingredient to it. With teaspoons/tablespoons, you either need multiple sets or you’re constantly washing and drying. A small battery-powered scale is cheap.
