For my AR I expect to fire 180 rounds a year for proficiency... For my handguns, I plan on 100 rounds per year for proficiency

That's barely bare proficiency.

Before the latest ammo run, I averaged 200 rounds a month rifle and 300 rounds a month pistol. (granted I shoot with two separate defensive groups and also teach a weekly Monday night session).

As a result of the ammo famine and increased cost, I am at half that now, 100 rounds each pistol and rifle per month, supplementing with every dry fire tool out there I can find.

My 'get me through the drought' stash is about 5000 in each caliber.

Agree. But you gotta have the storage for more ammo, I think I’ll manage with my limited training—after all, I do have 35 years of real military and police training to fall back on.
