I mostly try to use a nearby Surtling Spawner it is a hugh fire and you need to dig around it anyway to perma farm coal and surtling cores without actually fighting.

A lot of people seem to do that.
Over 20 worlds and characters and I never felt the need and always had a ton of cores and plenty of coal when needed ... not like trees are in short supply.

Stuff like that seems more effort than needed.

Don't get me wrong, I am not above using cheese methods on a boss and think people should play the way they want to... but personally setting up kill farms requiring little to no effort on your part to collect resources just feels too cheesy to me.

Devs even tried to stop that kind of thing by making fire take damage when doing damage.

Like I said to each their own, but I won't go there.
