Ideally you'll adjust both in game settings and deck settings for each game with in-game settings taking precedence as they give you access to fine tuning custom tailored to that game. The deck settings are great to tinker with when you want longer battery life especially. If it's inside the dock and charging while you play you needn't worry much about optimization (frame rate limit, heat limit, half rate shading, etc.) and can leave it at the sensible defaults.
The Steam Deck per-game control layout is very helpful for games that don't come with native controller support or those that don't let you rebind controls inside the game itself.
I don't own the games you mention, so I can't suggest specifics but my general way of setting up a game is:
This makes sense, thank you!
