I've said it before... what we see is a result of not picking up stuff for many many many rifts. I've collected one inventory full of stuff to salvage in every of my ~1600 rifts, and it allowed me to craft ~250 Aughild's chests and shoulders yesterday. Note that you'll only run out of Arcane Dust if you craft hundreds of bracers, and you run out of Veiled Crystals if you craft lots of gloves, but overall the materials are balanced across all slots (I'm actually lacking Reusable Parts right now).
If you just pick up all stuff in every rift until your inventory is full you will not be "starved for mats". But of course it will make your run "less efficient" because it adds a few seconds. Guess what... if you want to craft hundreds of legendary items, all of them potential end-game BiS items, you don't get them for free.
The game is balanced, it's just that content is neglected which leads to this imbalance. Gold, crafting materials, Forgotten souls - my resources are all about the same, there's not a particular crazy bottle neck right now (I'm lacking Reusable Parts, but not to a crazy extent; all my mats are quite low right now). That being said, I've never skipped content or done any stuff like "Cursed Chest farming" or finishing a rift without at least filling up one inventory.

ModeratorPlay rifts (and pick up stuff). Give it a try, works like a charm!
