In a nutshell, yes. unless you are going to be doing some really heavy work, or want to save a little money, I would think cordless meets most requirements. For me there are still some tools where I am not willing to go cordless quite yet, big things like chop saw, table saw, but thats mainly because I don't move them round very often. But for drills, impact drivers, circ saws, grinders etc I would go cordless. Pick a battery system and stick with it. You won't go wrong with Makita, Milwaukee, DeWalt, Bosch blue at the upper end for DIY, or if you are on a tighter budget brands like Erbauer do really decent stuff for the money. I mean for 90% of people the Lidl Parkside or Aldi Ferrex stuff is probably more than good enough.

GENERAL TOOL QUESTION.
Are we at the stage now where battery powered is the way to go for every occasion?
I have a corded hammer drill which I use for heavier work and a cordless for lighter work. Pondering a new drill - or impact driver or both but I don’t ‘really’ need it. Or do I?😁
