If you're gonna get a browser with a brave-like experience, might as well get a Firefox based one like Zen.

How about no

Either Firefox with Arkenfox userjs or Librewolf

I’ve never heard of Arkenfox userjs. Thank you for that.

Librewolf stopped showing my bookmarks bar randomly and never came back no matter what I tried... Switched to waterfox after a while of dealing with no bar.

Waterfox is actually a decent choice. Definitely change the search engine but that's about it. There is always hardening but that is for people who probably want Librewolf.

Looks like that is desktop only

Sadly. It is still in beta though, so it's still possible for a mobile version in the future. There's a few discussions on the github asking about mobile support (no responses).

Will there be mobile version for Zen Browser?

At the moment, our team does not have the time or resources to develop Android or iOS versions of Zen Browser. Additionally, we believe that Zen’s unique features, particularly its design around vertical tabs, do not translate well to the mobile form factor. As such, we do not currently have plans to develop a mobile version of Zen Browser.

That's exactly what I was thinking, there's nothing in Zen that would add any value to Firefox on mobile.
