Keep in mind that chronologically, the first time we meet Michio is when he’s googling ways to kill himself. Then only a day or so after killing a man for the first time, he slits the throats of like two bandits in their sleep and decapitates a third - not because he had to survive, but because he wanted a slave to have sex with.

He is not exactly in the most rational mindset.
Well, less valid reasons have been seen for such behaviors. Most of us just do it for fun.

as somewhat of a smith myself, i have no idea why fantasy authors have such strong aversion to actual smithing... or maybe they just don't understand that smiths made much more than weapons and armor? like nails, horseshoes, tools, etc...

Why doesn't the MC just tell them he's from another world. Would make explaining things easier. He could also explain how he has the appraisal skill and can change their jobs. Is not like they will betray him because of the collars around their necks.
the MC's only defining character trait is risk aversion as his first and only priority.
he doesn't have any real goals or ambitions besides avoiding any kind of potential hardships, and wouldn't consider having any kind of relationships if he wasn't in complete control.
this is why even after years the manga still doesn't have an inciting incident to spur him to action, because he's been avoiding them like the plague.

even the idea of telling girls who are proven loyal and trustworthy and are freaking slaves to his will is too much for him.

Not enough sex in this lately. Hope they cut it out with this abstinence stuff.

Oh so he's a coward. It's gonna unravel one day.

The more I've read the story and such, I really think Michio would be incredibly well-served if he took Sherry alone into his complete confidence and explained everything about himself and what he's learned about skills, levels, etc. After getting over the shock of it all her mind would be incredibly adept at figuring out the madness of it all and finding ways to make it work for them.
And maybe not everything, if the MC is so insistent on pussyfooting about it. Just tell her that he has a skill to see system information, where he gains all of that mysterious knowledge from, but as he has no experience with it at large, he doesn't have the context or ways to apply this groundbreaking knowledge. Boom, isekai and hero background still a secret, but system knowledge explained without a single lie (except the omission part, but those are already his own matters).
Right?
And she is already a slave, and thus is already made to keep his secrets, is she not? All this secrecy is just giving him issues he should not have.

If he hasn't got any particular aims to achieve in that world, it might not matter that much. Better keep it secret. If the info happened to leak, he would be captured by some royals, nobles, magic organisation, slavers, corrupt merchants, evil church, demons, you name it, to be used as an extremely convenient tool. It does cause him occasional trouble to keep minding his words and come up with petty lies, and it certainly will slow down his efforts to make progress, but at the end of the day, he's still making a whole lot faster progress than anyone else.
He is causing her mental anguish about what she was taught, though. She is thinking she was lied to, while he knows people just did not know any better. And as he seems to care about her feelings...

Probably the same reason there is not much of painters or actual science in them: that would require research on how the real deal works in order to adapt it to the fantasy setting. Work that they could use for the story, art and sex scenes, unless it is already something they are passionate about.
I sometimes watched some youtube videos about smithing cosplay weapons and the like, and I can clearly see even those are already a lot of work, nevermind complex things and, important in fantasy settings, without any advancements we had that would make it easier.
