Yeah, this precisely. I don't expect players with Barbarians that have 20 strength to bench 400 lbs, so it's fine if players aren't as suave as their Bard, unless they want to lean into roleplay dialogue. It's usually more than enough for them to say, "I try to charm the blacksmith by complimenting how nice a shop they have" or something like that and let the dice determine how effective they actually are at that.

Personally I think it would be fun to have all the skill checks be real-life skill checks.

Or you could go all the way in the other direction, and have the players roll to solve puzzles instead of doing them IRL.
