I've used both of those mods and they're great. These days I use a pre-built modpack like "fabulously optimized" to update and include all the mods for me. (there are tons of similar packs like this). Those can still play on vanilla servers.
Avoid the "steam deck" modpacks, as many of them are abandoned or straight up don't run at all. Stick to the very popular, well-tested packs if you do use a modpack at all. Even if they aren't branded with some sort of "works on steam deck" note. They will probably still work.
And of course, +1 for prism. It's the only recommendable option for steam deck or standard PC play these days.
Although it's been half a year since I last played Minecraft, that was the route I went with as well. Fabulously Optimized is a great place to start as a base for making ones own custom modpack (with Prism Launcher of course).
