Sure... If donating wasn't a pain in the ass to do due to payment methods being different across countries.

I have a few projects I wouldn't mind donating to, but as Patreon uses PayPal it is just more trouble than it is worth

PayPal is a no-no from me too. I've given them so many chances. When I was younger I once sold everything of value I had on eBay in order to purchase a microphone & headphones to record music. Upon payment, PayPal immediately froze my account for 6 months and wouldn't give me access to the funds. I was flat broke and had actually gone into the hole even deeper by paying to send off all of the packages, expecting to get the $ from the items asap. Those were my last dollars. Didn't even have gas $ to get to work. So PayPal froze the $300 ish I was supposed to get and I lost my job. Then for 6 months couldn't sell anything else, why would I? They'd taken everything OR be paid and it really fucked me up. Called them constantly and did everything they asked to verify but it still took 6 months of waiting after I'd done everything I needed to. After that I didn't use them for many years. Finally tried again and had similar issues fuck PayPal.

I don't use PayPal cause it doesn't accept the most convenient method of payment of my country
