Adding my opinion: Sequoia was fine and so is Tahoe on a base M2. Can't say I've noticed a usability difference. I also prefer using a trackpad over a mouse and I don't know very many keyboard shortcuts, and I only use one monitor.
no issues here either, macbook air m4 + 2k 180hz monitor + a bunch of usb and bluetooth peripherals
the only thing i miss from sequoia so far is the launchpad, but i've already adapted to just using spotlight
I'm happy to report that Tahoe is also no slower on M1 Macs.
