Modern mineral wool is actually way better than that. I recently bought and installed some that was advertised as “really soft” and without gloves or masks, at the end of the day I couldn’t feel an itch. Of course good airflow during installation always makes a huge difference. I would 100% wear a mask in an attic though.
There’s more, this guy is a rebel.
This dudes hands in the end of the day

there’s also a massive difference in mineral wool and fiberglass. i’ll take working with mineral wool/rock wool over fiberglass any day
