I too have always been interested in such devices, and am also now in the Linux world. (My default distro is Manjaro with xfce). I'm currently considering an Astro Slide Or a Galago Pro, but availability of both devices is spotty. Everything you've said suggests that something like the Galago would serve me better.

The fix is open-source firmware, like Coreboot or LinuxBoot. Incumbent PC-compatible vendors aren't too interested, but there's more than enough room at the table for offshore and onshore vendors to use open firmware as a feature. Google, Purism, and System76 are some of the vendors doing this. Source: about 2 years ago

I've used Smooze [1] in the past. It has a ton of features, but I really just need it for turning off mouse acceleration and making the scroll wheel usable. Glad to see an open source option. [1] https://smooze.co/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
Smooze is the best app I have found to make using mac with a non-mac mouse even remotely usable. Really wish Apple would care a little more about mouse support. Source: about 1 year ago
Mac unfortunately isn’t the best at supporting third party mice and their additional buttons, for your specific case, the only app that I know of that offers a similar option would be smooze. Source: about 1 year ago
What mouse are you using? - SteerMouse is a nice app that can remap buttons. - Smooze I think also had some options for buttons. Source: over 1 year ago
