Some of us learned to fly IFR using needle, ball and airspeed (plus
whisky compass and altimeter).

Yup. I did that during IFR training, too. Need a watch with a
second hand, too, or stopwatch. Not much fun, but necessary. Surely
you didn't routinely fly actual IMC in airplanes having just those
instruments?
