There's also a couple modpacks on Modrinth for the deck that include Controlify alongside some graphics mods to make things run smoothly: https://modrinth.com/modpack/minecraft-steam-deck-edition

I chose not to include them since they aren't updated frequently, and in my experience often require the user to do some fiddling. If you're experienced in setting up modpacks, then they are a decent starting point though.

I mean, Prism makes it dead simple, probably moreso than even just a single mod because you can do it from the "Create Instance" menu.

Yes, but then you need to go in and change out some of the mods that aren't up-to-date, which for some users is intimidating.

How do you mean? Modrinth modpacks do this automatically (on the website), and I'm pretty certain Prism automatically downloads new versions of the modpack that are compatible.
