If you are somewhat tech savvy I recommend the 64GB model paired with a 512GB or 1TB micro SD card. You can always upgrade the internal SSD if necessary. The issue with the 64GB is shaders must be stored on internal drive, not SD card, so between the OS and shaders the drive fills up fast.
If you don't feel like messing with opening the deck up, go for the 256GB model paired with a 1TB micro SD card.
The 512GB model only worth it for anti glare screen if you feel like you'll be playing it often outside.
Some must have programs for deck:
Decky loader - plugin manager for themes, power tools, and much more
EmuDeck- old school games emulation
Steam Rom Manager - adds your emulation game to steam, categorized by system with full game box and cover art
I also highly recommended a 45w power bank, the decks biggest weakness is battery life, you'll want a battery pack for travel
Be aware not all games run out of the box. Some require tweaking or custom proton versions to run properly.
ProtonDB.com lists game compatibility for all games and is a great resource, it's also a plug-in for decky

Is it basically useless for me?

In the end, it plays pretty much everything you throw at it.
My biggest gripe is the Steam DRM: not every game plays nice offline. So, make sure you've done your homework before hopping on a flight. I've gotten screwed a couple of times!

Definitely buy the cheapest version, you can always watch a YouTube how-to video and upgrade
Bought a 512GB NVME on eBay for like $50-60. Once I got that, the install took 20 minutes. Big issue and time spent was popping the back casing. Make sure to use a credit card or something similar so you don't break it.
Also make sure to unplug the battery connector. Those who don't may get a newly bricked Steam Deck.

Edit:scratch that, it was 25% off due to getting 5% cashback with credit card
