Yeah... homie, I think you are very much overthinking this.
Understand that "stir fry" is kind of a catch all for how a lot of Chinese folk (I think more the Southern regions but don't quote me on that) cook. It is conceptually no different than sauteeing some food for dinner and it is 100% a "week night dinner" deal.
Go watch a video or two on what a (home) stir fry should look like. J Kenji Lopez-Alt and Chinese Cooking Demistyfied did a collab a few years back on almost this exact topic. Then... just make sure you are doing that when you cook. If stuff doesn't sizzle "right" you are adding too much or the heat is too low and you should adjust that. And then, after a few times, it just becomes second nature.
No different than knowing that if you put the meat in the pan and there is no sizzle then you aren't going to get a good brown and need to raise the heat or wait longer. Similarly, if the oil explodes across the kitchen when you put that thigh down? Maybe turn it down a notch or five.
A lot of this is just what you grew up with. A LOT of people (self included) over-stuff tacos. And I am sure there are people who get confused over how to make a sandwich. Hell, a friend always laughs when I am "over thinking curry" and points out it is just a stew that even kids make and I shouldn't be measuring anything beyond "two bricks or four". And stir fries are a lot like that.
Don't get me wrong. There are some truly heinous things you can do with a wok. But stir fries are almost always what people are talking about when they insist that electric can't be used for authentic Chinese cooking (and then ignore how much of China actually have electric stoves...).
OH. Another thing people tend to forget: There are flat bottom woks for a reason. Yes, it is less "authentic". Except... most woks were cheap ass family everything pans and would get dinged and dented anyway. And as long as you are agitating the food, it doesn't matter if the bottom is perfectly round or has a big flat spot so that the heat can be more directly applied.
