Well, rather than an affiliate link. I'd be more inclined to contact them simply about dropshipping for you.

In other words, when you have a product out of stock and receive an order, just contact them to dropship it in those intances.

Now that doesn't change all the time that is neccessary on your part. But as I see it, that's part of what doing business is about. A big part.

Now, if you truly are tired of all the things neccessary for running a business then yes, it's time for a change. Better for you and better for the consumer. Nothing at all wrong with that. Been there, done that.

My own personal opinion is you don't split up a business/site in this manner. Not the best for customer service and customer retention. Customers need and want to know who it is they are conducting business with.

What happens when a customer purchases a product directly from you, and you also send them to an affialite site to purchase another?

I'd be more concerned with what could potentially happen to your customer base rather than what may happen to your rankings.
