Not smart but clever? The return of 'dumbphones'

I've kind-of got into the habit of using my hand-computer mostly as a dumb phone. It came about with my inability to focus at close distances and I don't bother with reading glasses when out. I really only use it for 2FA, calls, txt, voicemail, clock/alarm, and the occasional Google Maps lookup and Parking meter app payments. I also used to use it for Spotify when I had an office to commute to. Also handy for tethered internet access for my Surface Go or MacBook.
I've been looking at the Punkt M02 with starry eyes for months now, trying to calculate a path that could make it a reality. Here are my current roadblocks:
2FA (Authy etc) .. Can I find a CLI replacement I can run on my laptop?
Cameras .. portable, compact cameras have not kept up with apple/google from a feature POV, and even the smallest are the size again of carrying a dumbphone.
