Anyone thought about using a Steam Deck with this? Or explored the concept of a "Nomad Deck"?

It might be an interesting idea given that the Steam Deck has reasonable amount of RAM/GPU. The main issue for a knowledge base might be the lack of a physical keyboard though.
It has built in microphones though.
Not sure how good of an idea a Steam Deck would be for this. If you can't access Wikipedia, I imagine a replacement for its unprotected glass screen would be harder to come by if you drop it.
True, but I always give my devices a protective glass and put them in rugged armor. Broken screens never been a problem for me..
At that point you should just use an old laptop or small formfactor desktop, since finding monitors will not be too hard in the apocalypse.
