    I have a separate “gaming” layer on my keyboard. That way I disable all the autoshift, and other weird layouts/functionality I use for typing/coding. QMK and other keyboard firmwares are pretty powerful and feature rich. So there are plenty of ways to get around situation, including using a combo of key presses to toggle the autoshift functionality for instance.

    Also, for context, minimizing finger and wrist movement is far more important for my use cases than typing speed is. To that end, I split my spacebar in half and put backspace and shift under my right thumb. I only use autoshift for my number row.

    I use Dvorak on a 36 key Corne.

    I started developing Ulnar Tunnel due to having really bad typing form from never learning the correct way to type. I was never going to unlearn the horrible (but fast) typing form that I had been using for years, so I decided to completely relearn how to type from the ground up using a different key layout on a completely different keyboard layout. It was a long and arduous process, but now my wrist pain is completely gone, and my typing speed has recovered.
