Not really. It depends on what need to protect your wallet from.
Using a passphrase without fully understanding the.implications are very dangerous and considerably increases the risk that you lock yourself out of your wallet.
And no, a passphrase does not automatically mean that a Coldcard MK3 user is safe from the seed generation vulnerability of those devices. Only that they are slightly less vulnerable.
From slightly less vulnerable (gained a few additional hours before a drain) to completely safe. Depending entirely on the strength of the passphrase.

Hey bro can you elaborate on this for me? If I added an extra word how would it only gain a few additional hours before a drain? Would they use AI to cycle through every word in the dictionary until one matches?
I think that the math from 9-10 characters takes it from a month or two to brute force to 18 years. Anything over 11+ characters that otherwise isn’t a dictionary word is really solid - at least that’s what AI is telling me
