Both is sensible. Straps for now to keep the deadlift progressing . Definitely train grip too. Hangs, farmers carries, barbell holds with fat grips worked for me. Doing grip work made a big difference to my deadlift max.
Mixed grip is also an option, though it could result in imbalances.
Since training grip I've got past 200kg for heavy singles with no straps

I’d do both.
Use straps when grip is the limiting factor AND train grip separately (holds for time, etc...)
