I would not buy three vor four expensive SD cards, but rather an external SSD. The 4TB models are pretty affordable and would offer plenty of storage. Micro SD cards are more expensive per TB and can easily snap when handled poorly.
Downside of the external SSD approach is that you cannot charge and play at the same time, so you would need to copy a game from external storage to internal before starting to play.
For a mobile platform, I'll take the agility over the storage capacity and longevity. But to each their own
