Some people just don't want to move their hands off the keyboard, it can be an incredibly productive workflow if you're used to it.
My point is, it depends on the workflow and the tools. Try editing complex images with keyboard alone with GIMP or Inkscape. I'm a Vim user and used tiling window managers for years, so I know exactly what you mean with keyboard centric workflow being productive. But sometimes ignoring the mouse can make the workflow harder, not easier. Off course it always depends on what you actually do.
Edit: Guess I answered my ... question (even though it wasn't a question). Never mind.
It sounds like OP wants a "mouseless except for gaming" setup, no mention of image or video editing. Sounds like the slippery slope into ergo-mechs tbh
