Yeah I say forget going to 12 speed, go Box Prime 9 instead. You will get more neato comments with that than 12 speed unless that 12 is AXS. 11 and 12 is so common place meh.
But really as it is with 11 and even 10 speed I'm skipping 2 or 3 gears nearly ever time I shift. I'm rarely in 1 gear long enough to worry about perfect cadence unlike my road bike.
