Leaving space around apex in order to make it back home in one piece, good or bad idea?

So currently I ride in intermediate/fast group on Zandvoort, and was curious about this what others think. What happens if I alter the ideal line slightly so I don’t try to hit the apex at the very boundary, this way possibly getting it wrong, rather leaving just a bit of bigger margin around that area. And I don’t talk much I’m talking just enough to I feel like I’m not at my limit at laps. Or do you have other ways to how to ride your ride if you are running out of energy or not feeling like pushing to the limit? Because leaving some space around apex seems like the safer thing to do than for example slow down more or other adjustments to be safer? I know this might sound dumb but I wanted to see what others think

Is going wide and tightening line a good way to get faster in the track or it's better to try to hit the line from the get go?

Basically I had a lot more fun learning track by not completely "hitting" the apex, but going a bit further away from it, but keeping my overall speed higher, and smoother on the controls, then slowly trying to go closer and closer to the apex. Vs going slower and possibly choppier in order to hit the apex
