For mamas who bed share (anti bed share people.please don't shame...we know the risks)

Hey so we bed share with our baby but my husband and I both list our jobs due to covid. We had to move to a much smaller place and there is no room for the small crib babes was in until we moved them to bed with us when we went. Any moms use the tall bed rails and have baby on the regular bed by themselves until mom/dad are ready for bed?? We have a monitor but baby is stealthy as all get out so will make zero noise if they wake up. He is 16 months and walking since 10 months but defiantly not ready for a toddler bed yet. Looking at something like this. We are in like a 450 sq ft apt so when I say no extra room I mean no extra room. It is pretty much a studio but the bed is in a separate kinda nook area...no door to bedroom but like a half wall but separate from the living area.
