What you have listed is perfectly fine for the steamdeck, you can load in plex and spotify as flatpaks and then add them as a non-steam program to broaden it's useful ness when away.
Not OP, but do you know if I could do something like join a Google Meet while playing a game? Bit specific but it'd really be useful to me.
Definitely possible but you'd probably want a dock and a couple of monitors at the least. And your gaming performance would likely be compromised as videoconferencing is a relatively intensive task.
You can use Discord as there is a flatpak I would imagine meet would run as a web-app so open the steam browser login and go or make an electron/web-app from the page would be my goto.
Cheers!
Neat! (As a non-Steam Deck owner but eyeing with desire) I hadn't thought about putting Plex on it.
