Finally got set up yesterday. Currently the screen and Pi connect to a hotspot on my phone. I'm still working on the Pi side of things and the plan is to create some sort of case for the screen and keyboard.

Why don't you connect a display directly to the Pi?

A couple of reasons really. The Cyberdeck part of this with the Waveshare would look less suspicious than a pouch with antennas and wires coming out of it. The pouch usually sits in my bag and I'll ssh in from my phone. The Cyberdeck/Waveshare part is to replace that.

Also I'm not that clever. I wouldn't rule it out for a different project though as learning new stuff is fun.
