My experience is not as painful as yours, but I do not know the Delaware process.
I incorporated a "SAS" in France with the help of an online accounting service. It cost 500€ in fees, required a few hours of paperwork and the company was ready 2 weeks afterwards (KBis, bank account…).
Now I pay 90€ / mo for the accounting service, and 10€ / mo for the (online-only) bank account. That's it.
Note that you do business alone, with not too much volume, you can opt-in for the easier "microentrepreneur" status. It has low taxes, easy accounting and is straightforward to set up.
