You might be better off getting a fixed power profile from the brick and regulating down to your desired voltage separately. While it's possible the brick will be well regulated, it's likely to have some noise and output voltage variability. Even for a hobbyist, the DC supply should be clean and well regulated, or you might be stuck debugging your hobby design only to realize it was a power issue all along.

A small board/box with a DC to DC regulator, knob, and display, could still be quite a bit smaller than a big bench supply, and provide reasonable performance. USB-C in (at a fixed power profile) to an output from a variable buck supply, for example.
