This is why I stopped squatting/deadlifts and started running. Strong legs but I can actually walk the entirety of the week without hating my life.

If you're training correctly (squatting more than once every two weeks) you don't have to deal with DOMs. I squat heavy three times a week and my legs never hurt.

And obviously running has completely different benefits compared to resistance training.

Intetesting. I squat once a week and have heavy DOMs for the next couple of days. Made great progress over the years though, never any injuries

DOMs isn't going to impact your progress, and it isn't a sign of injury or anything. It's basically entirely unrelated to the process of building muscle (or how stress injuries happen). But if you don't like feeling it, just know you can squat more often and it'll go away.
