I can never get that trackpad portion to work correctly, especially while holding the remote. So if Apple comes up with a greatly improved design for the remote, and it is compatible with my current TV 4K, and it doesn't cost a king's ransom, then I might get one. Although my Sony Bravia TV remote via HDMI-CEC does almost everything the TV remote does, so any improvements in the TV remote will have to be significant to get my attention.
YMMV but a gel case for the remote helped immensely with hold-ability as well as being able to tell which end is which. Like you and the Sony remote I also found a Toshiba IR remote would operate AppleTV for most things. And of course you can use the remote app found in Control Panel on iPhone/iPad.
