Depends what you expect. On a pro tournament level, nobody will use a vertical mouse. Usually they are a little bit heavier than regular mouses, plus they have a slightly higher center of gravity. This makes them a little bit more "wobbly" during ultra fast movements.
However, for regular playing, they work just fine. I don't play on pro level, but okay competitive shooters almost daily, and I haven't noticed any real disadvantage. And it helped my wrists enormously, because I'm a full time office worker as well. I decided a couple years ago that the small theoretical disadvantage is not worth the risk of RSI and have been using the cheap CSL/Anker/whatever vertical mouses since. Only very recently I boughta second, regular mouse with more thumb buttons, useful for some sim games I play. I now tend to switch fairly randomly between the two, which probably is even better for hand and wrist.
Additional info: getting used to a vertical mouse takes much less time than most people expect. Yes, it's weird at first, but start working or gaming and you'll stop noticing the different posture very quickly.
Recently there is actually a mild push for gaming vertical mice so that gap might shorten over time. A friend of mine does Valorant semi-pro and he uses a vertical mouse as well.
I wouldn't be opposed to a gaming mouse with extra buttons. Back in college a gf gave me a Razer mouse with a full numpad where the thumb sits. Was absolutely amazing for games with commands tied to those. Having something like that as a vertical mouse would be perfect. The only problem I see is when I click, I instinctively press my thumb into the mouse for stability. I trained that out of myself for the most part, but that could cause me to accidentally press a button when I didn't want to. So they'll have to be mindful of that when designing one.
