While you certainly can go that route, I found anything but a proper looping pedal to be impractical. The ability to start and stop a recorded track very precisely is crucial to my practice, as is the capability of looping a track over and over again.
I play exclusively acoustic, also, but my practice corner includes an amp, a JamMan looper pedal and a dynamic microphone (to record guitars without pickups). I don't do any recording for the purpose of recording, but to record backing tracks that I use to then practice melodies or improvisations over. I also use an iPad to watch Bryan Sutton's video lessons and record my own video recordings to send to him for evaluation.
Other than that, I have a chair, a music stand, metronome(s), my most-needed reference materials and binders with sheet music and a small chest containing accessories like picks, capos and tuners.
