When you want to get into more controller-rich features like gyro, back buttons, ergonomics, or haptics that's where the Xbone/Series controllers start showing their downsides.
If you ever do look into newer controllers then I'd go to a store (Assuming you're in America) and see if they have a PS5 demo unit to feel the DualSense because I can't go back to the DS4 ever since using it due to how comfortable and weighted it feels. Switch demo units are everywhere but I don't know how common a Pro Controller might be in your state or country, however with the Switch 2 release it might be easier to find now.
When it comes to third-party controllers generally you're looking at something like the Gamesir Cylone 2, the Flydigi Vader 4 Pro, or if you want to get into a cheaper $20 range the 8BitDo Ultimate 2. Third-parties generally knock off all three controllers into one amalgamation of a controller with good features from each, and they also have support for Android, Switch, Direct Input, and Xinput typically through a button combo or a manual switch/button.
Keep in mind that with official controllers you should plan for an eventuality where you might need to swap out the sticks with TMR or Hall Effect sticks because even with the Switch 2 they're still cheaping out on it.
