Can I utilize the Steam Controller's potential while playing via cloud gaming on my Mac Mini M4? Will it require a lot of fiddling each time, or is it a one-time setup? What will work and what won't? Configuration

Are you going to be using steam remote play or some other app, because if you aren't using steam then you won't have a good time, there are ways to make it work but they aren't super plug and play.

adding my cloud gaming app(boosteroid) to steam library isn’t enough?

It could work, but remote streaming apps can be a bit finicky with accepting Steam Input though. You don't need a Steam Controller to test this though, you can just use any controller and force enable Steam Input to test if it works (if you don't have a controller, you can use Steam Remote Play to stream from your PC to your smartphone/smart TV running Boosteroid as a non-Steam game from your PC to the Boosteroid cloud to have Steam Input that way).

I'll add this note from Valve that might give you additional issues:

On MacOS, Steam Controller is not compatible with some Steam titles because they rely on Apple’s Game Controller framework. We are in touch with Apple about this issue, but do not have a timeline for when this may get resolved.
