I have never understood the goal of passkeys. Skipping 2FA seems like a security issue and storing passkeys in my password manager is like storing 2FA keys on it: the whole point is that I should check on 2 devices, and my phone is probably the most secure of them all.
OTP in the password manager Private key pkcs#12 in a contactless smart card plus maybe a pin if I'm feeling fancy
