The 3DS circle pad is low profile enough to work. Some GPD devices have recessed analog sticks that are probably too tall, but also work okay.

Interestingly, if you remove the nub on the New 3DS C Stick and affix the old PSP stick cap onto it, the usability goes way up and it acts more like a pressure sensitive stick.

The touchpads on Steam Decks also would work well.

If the phone was slightly thicker because it had a built in controller, that would not deter me feom buying it, at all. The LG Wing I currently have is almost 0.3" thick, and I think ots still quite slim.
