I wanted to use Passkeys from the initial spec stage. The UX seemed far more superior (the closest I think is passwordless via email).

But the more I wanted to use Passkeys are more scary it got, basically the gut feeling of losing control.

If we could use something akin of derived, reproduceable-ish (???) Passkeys maybe then.

As of right now it feels wrong.

(derived, reproduceable-ish) sounds like a security horror O_o.
You can set up a new Ledger (crypto wallet) and deterministically recover your keys using a sheet with 24 words written on it.

I've got my sheet in my gun safe, but you can also hide it anywhere in your house.
