I play on controller on PS4 and I'm always trying to get better at optimization. My main job is Dancer, but I've also been doing a lot of Sage (who also has a Thunderclap equivalent) and was a healer main prior to the gutting of Scholar in Shadowbringers. I can say that single-target casting on controller is not hard--it just takes practice. You need to think ahead a bit and be aware of who's where so that you can use it properly at the right moment.

For me I find KB/M extremely disconnecting from the immersion of the game and have 0 interest in ever transitioning to it, and I've been around the block for plenty of savage content. Even managed to clear T9 on PS3 back during ARR.
