my Steam Deck's arriving soon and I'm kinda afraid about the SSD upgrade and the steps I have to do. Especially after hearing that some sticks/touchpads (I can't remember what) don't work immediately after booting into Steam OS with the new SSD.

No need to worry, this is just because the recovery image installs an older SteamOS version which does not support the updated firmware of the controls.

The touchscreen and especially mice and keyboards connected via USB should always work, then after a system update that gets you back to a recent SteamOS version the controls will work again as well.
