I want to eventually transition to a real bike and bought a size ML carbon Defy entry level Endurance bike. I opted for clipless MTB pedals ...
Can you people speculate on how you think I’ll make out on small trips as far as fatigue and body adjustments would be etc?
Hard to speculate on either of your above questions.
In addition to your fitness it also depends how well the new bike fits you; a bike fit will likely be beneficial.
No urgent need to transition to clipless pedals until you are really comfortable with your new bike.
