but it also means that you can't easily make a... "challenging dungeon" per se, since the attrition aspect of dungeons has been nerfed when you have a regen system.

What really nerfs attrition in current D&D is the fact that 5e is designed around a specific number of encounters per short/long rest, and very few groups actually play that way. Especially ones influenced by watching online games.

Basically, most players are resting too much and recovering abilities more often than they should, unless they've specifically got a DM who wants to emphasize attrition and exhaustion and resource management and environmental penalties (ie, DMs who basically want to run a survival game).
