So what, you keep an ungoogled-chromium around and use it occasionally for compatibility, if you really need to. Doesn’t mean you are obligated to use it as your daily driver.
WebRender has been enabled by default on Firefox for Android since version 92 (September 2021). Performance is fine for me, especially with uBlock Origin.
uBlock Origin works best on Firefox, according to the extension author. This is definitely a reason to use Firefox, and even more so when Chromium phases out Manifest V2 completely.
Your Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e has a PassMark score of 5488. I’ve been happy with the performance of Firefox on a Google Pixel 3a, which has a nearly identical PassMark score of 5483. Maybe your expectations or experiences are different, but I’m comfortable with saying that Firefox’s performance is fine for me on a range of Android devices, old and new.
Try and register something on Razer’s website so you can get support for it. Until a few weeks back, PSN locked the browser up completely when signing in.
I use FF for day to day use, but prepare to swap to Chrome when things go wrong just because most sites aren’t tested on it.
Many times stupid web pages don’t load… Call support and I’m told it only works in chrome.
Can’t get away from it

I’m doing the same, I rarely ever have to use it unless compelled to by work or simply a lazy site with less compatibility for anything beyond google.
For anyone who wants to try here you go.
Exactly what I do
I have both firefox and chrome installed. It’s actually not that bad as special work “tabs” get their own taskbar icon…

Some of its features are still considered experimental and disabled on Android to provide compatibility with most devices.

when i try to go to a website that does that, or worse, when they say that my operating system is not supported, i don’t go to their site.
