You should give yubikeys a try.
I use Yubikeys for everything that allows them. Haven't had any problems.
Aren't you describing a use case for a yubikey?
Sounds possible, but wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the yubikey, or at least undermine it?
You can use NFC or USB Yubikeys etc.
What's wrong with having your Yubikeys on your keys?
A yubikey doesn't replace a password.
Is this different from yubikey etc?
That's what I use my Yubikey for! And it comes with U2F. I couldn't be happier!
They support hardware security keys like Yubikey.
