I have a Pixel watch and that covers about 25% of the notifications. Texts it's good for, calls it's great for, Slack it's meh for, email it's terrible for. There are more, but suffice it to say, it's not the silver bullet you make it out to be.

Ugh. I can't imagine having phone notifications on for email. To me, the whole point of email is that it isn't an urgent matter.
I think there's a useful distinction with silent notifications. I think someone would have to be crazy to get a beep or buzz for an incoming email, but a notification dot I can check when I see it won't unduly grab my attention.
