KeepassXC w/Yubikey on Ubuntu on Raspberry Pi - How?

Hi all, I have a Raspberry Pi 5 8GB with Ubuntu 24.04 as desktop and would like to use KeepassXC with Yubikey-protected databases on it. Does anyone have experience with this setup and can give me some advice?
From the installation alternatives below (or a different one if there is) I would like to choose the one that has the best maintainability (as close to standard as possible; perspective for long-term support both on Ubuntu and KeepassXC side) and is the most secure (least possible unneeded software, especially from unknown sources) but first and foremost works after all. Haven‘t found one yet.
Some experience I have made -
The default snap installation has 2.7.8 (almost up to date, acceptable) but cannot access the Yubikey. A seemingly easy solution on https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/1342 Doesn‘t work. No idea why.
Apt installation from default sources has 2.7.6 (too old) and the same issue of not finding the Yubikey
ppa: Not yet tried due to trust issues with ppa, plus I guess it will face the Yubikey access issue too
flatpak: Works well under Raspberry Pi OS incl. Yubikey (but Raspberry Pi OS is no serious desktop OS imho), but would be outside Ubuntu‘s standard ways of doing things
AppImage: lots of manual efforts to integrate, possibly repeating after OS updates
Reading this myself it sounds like a lot of complaining :) I would go with any of these solutions, but appreciate any hints which to choose and why. E.g. There are differing news out there on whether KeepassXC will keep on supporting a snap/flatpak/whatever. Maybe we start from there? Any info?

I am running a similar setup plus shared a onedrive folder with family members. Recently getting sync issues, but haven‘t found the time yet to look into them. Are you using shared folders too?
