Howdy Joe....
I've been MIA here lately (currently in a creative deficit smile ) so I didn't read other responses.

Bluntly speaking to your direct question: I would emphatically suggest to learn songs that are not easy
That approach has given me my best 'musicianship' improvement over the decades.
I have several on my youtube channel that were very difficult (in my genre of choice) but one has to persevere to reach one's goal.
IE: Kid Charlemagne, Listen To The Music, Rio Di Janeiro Blue, You're Gonna Get You're Fingers Burned, Long Train Runnin' Another Park Another Sunday....among others.
So....tackle some truly challenging songs rather than easy ones and don't be intimidated by extended chords.....learn them.
There's few things in life worth doing that come easy....your perseverance will reward you with a new found confidence.

That's my somewhat brief take.
Good luck on your quest.
I do hope that helps.
