Conflicted with driver

I’m at a loss with my driver and I’m starting to resent it for even being in my bag. A good tee shot will put me anywhere from 270-290 yards off the tee, but I feel like I’m gambling every time I bring it to the tee box. I do not have a consistent miss, I can hook it hard left or slice it 2 fairways over. So yeah I need practice with it, but I just got back from the range and I hit about 15 balls with it. The majority went straight or would have hit most fairways, but the second to last was a nasty slice and the last was a hard hook over the left side net. I can consistently put my 3 wood on the fairway about 215-235 yards off the tee and a miss with that is relatively rare. I want to use the driver because distance off the tee really helps but the percentage of good shots is just too low. It really casts a shadow over any good play after that. Should I leave my driver at home for a while? What are some things you guys do to not dread pulling out driver?

Edit: Thank you for all of the advice and support in the comments. I truly appreciate it.
