Capacitive sticks are a game changer for enabling gyro. It's hard to go back to controllers without them. Same goes for back buttons.
I find gyro on handhelds is tricky. When I'm lying on the couch or in bed in some weird way it's more hindrance than help, and even when I'm sitting upright it's kinda weird. I prefer to only use gyro if I have a separate screen, like with the PS5 or a docked switch.
The back buttons are great for their own things though.
