I use metal for CI, and for everything else I use wood.
Just get metal with a plastic or wooden handle. I got a $3 one 5 years ago and it works great. Cast iron can handle metal on metal.

Not great for ceramic coatings though.
Ours is like this and is at least 12 years old. I believe the plastic is over molded directly onto metal handle which sits about 1.5 cm into the plastic.

Check the border of the spatula, it looks like you are “eating” it with time, not good for the health

It got slightly melted along the leading edge once, so I trimmed/files it back to make it chamfered again.
I’m sure it sheds some microplastics, like pretty much everything, but I prefer a little of the spatula, to scraping the nonstick ceramics.
We really only use this with a couple pans, and use metal in our cast iron, though one of our favorite metal spatulas has a plastic handle that’s been melted dozens of times from resting on the rim of the pan.
