These mostly seem like good things to try. It might be worth experimenting with a number of different ergonomic devices to see which work best for you (which work best seems to be very individual, anecdotally).
Regarding wrist braces: it’s been a while since I looked into this, so I don’t have a reference to hand and you may be more up to date than I am, but my recollection is that these were recommended for carpal tunnel syndrome, but not for RSI. Fwiw, I would guess that only wearing it at night probably avoids the theorised harms of wearing one (forcing your wrist into unnatural positions and/or leading to weakening of the area) and may still have some benefits, but you’d probably want to look into it yourself (as you may already have done).
Using your other hand for your phone where necessary also seems like a good idea, but I’d be careful about relying on this too much, in case you just injure that hand more too. I think I also used the mistake of trying to use my phone rather than my computer for things too much, despite using my phone being pretty bad for my hands too. It might be worth seeing whether you find a different (e.g. smaller) phone more ergonomic too, since I find that stretching across a large phone can be a strain.
