Yeah in my modern Civic I use Carplay touchscreen all the time. The only controls I need during driving are:

- volume

- change the song

- air conditioning

- signalling

- cruise control

All of those are on the steering wheel besides air conditioning which is still a dial.

For the touchscreen I open Spotify and then Waze and use voice commands to set a destination before I drive (which is pushing one button to toggle voice and one button to select the top result). I might ID a police car or hazard using Waze if I'm in slow traffic but usually my passenger does that. That's the only touch screen apps I use.
