Wireless mouse is sorted. I thought same for keyboard but my work laptop doesn't let me use Bluetooth peripherals so I'll need to sell my keychron and get some mechanical keyboard with a receiver.
I have a nice set of steelseries wired headphones that I quite like so will probably keep.
I thought about wall mounting monitor but the desk arm just gives me more flexibility and either way I'd need wires from monitor to computer (fuck burying them in the wall) so why not have them running down the desk arm, which is a relatively neat solution.

Looks good, as others have said you won't notice the gap once the desk is in use.
Having a gap isn't a problem with stuff falling off. I have sit/stand desk so I can't have it up against a wall on any side. Just don't put too much crap on the desk to begin with and nothing can really fall off.
As for minimalism, you'll need wires for anything that needs wires regardless of where they come up (either through a hole or the gap). The biggest wins for minimalism are wireless keyboard/mouse (and headphones), and shifting the computer/laptop off the desk.
The other obvious option for getting rid of the clamp is a wall mount for the monitor, but you need something quite adjustable if you want to account for future monitor upgrades.
