I thought there'd be a easier and less expensive solution.

You're overthinking this. Drill a hole in the gutter. Put in a through the
hull fitting. Attach hose. Run hose to where you want it to drain to. Be
sure to buy one of those HGTV hoses with the vines and roses on it. And be
ready to go up there and clean it out twice a week.

Get up there and fix it right or live with it.
