For that reason, my default docked setup uses a Magic Trackpad 2 alongside my keyboard so I can have the best of both worlds. I know it’s excessive, though, and not for everyone.
This is the way, though. I do exactly the same thing. I was a trackball user for many years on Windows (due to wrist & arm pain from mouse use), but the Magic Trackpad works way better with macOS than trackballs (primarily because the Kensington software is garbage).
I also use the magic trackpad. I even tried the renowned logitech mx master 4 but returned it the next day, heavy and straining for the wrist. And all of the extra buttons and actions on that mouse don't make much sense when the trackpad has gestures.
