My Dubia colony is visibly happier in bio active. My enclosure is too dry for spring towels and probably to dry for Isopods. I have them on Coco fiber bedding with tons of cork and an incandescent light for warmth. Their enclosure average is 80 to 85° and they seem quite happy. Again I don’t keep it moist so the cleanup crew would probably die. I use beetles were needed

do you add plants in the enclosure? Because I was thinking that the soil would need to get rid of the nutrients in it or it would just keep on building up, even with a cleanup crew and might become toxic in the future.

I keep my hissers and OHs bioactive. They like it.
The only way to truly keep OHs successfully is Bioactive. They want high Humidity, if you dont provide it or enough water, they eat each others wings. They also love to burrow in the soil, they for me usually spend more time burrowed then in the cork flats, especially the babies. I give them 3 inches of dirt for this reason.
The Hissers love eating oak leaf litter, they eat it more than they do the food I provide. I provide the hissers and the OHs, the same amount of food, and the colonys are pretty similar sized (maybe a tad more OHs) the hissers barely eat any of it, but their leaf litter is in constant need of replacement.
Cork Bark lasts much longer than egg flats, even my crickets have corks, I dont use cardboard, anywhere for anything lol.
I try to keep them both decently humid, the Hissers do like some dry out, or a dry and wet side, which I try to give them. I am not always successful keeping it very humid, (wet) but I try.
