Front squats are for ATHLETIC CHADS.

Recently moved, and the only gym here doesn't have a power rack and I dont feel like doing back squats without safety bars

Honest answer
Unless you're lifting babby weight, same kind of safety bars are recommendable for front squats too
I've seen (on myself and others more experienced than me) occasional imbalances where safety bars played a role
It may happen once in a year, but when it happens you're happy your safety bars are there
If you're used to good-morning-ize your back squat you have some issues regarding your form anyway
Without safety bars I'd only go zercher

What if you're a wristlet like me who broke his navicular bone in his wrist during a fight and now has a metal screw inside permanently?

You could try hitching straps to the bar and holding onto them. Or if you must, do the California Front Squat.

Front squats are one of my favorite exercises but most people should be doing both, or at least rotating both in. Whether your goal is strength, looks, athleticism, whatever, both are very worthwhile exercises.

Because they take effort to learn, plus you can't load up as much weight on them to hit your core as hard.

Sounds like you are screwed!
