Honestly it largely depends on your main PC specs, but like you are hearing from others. It probably isn't a good idea.

My main PC is an i3 from 14 years ago. It has an SSD and 6 gb of ram so it is serviceable.

Yeah the steam deck will be faster than that. 4K video editing? Not gonna be great but it might be tolerable. 1080p? Heck yeah.
