Cheers boss - the argument is that cats are carnivores and dry food is solely for user convenience. The process may start with meat but you end with much higher carbs than they need all sprayed with meat flavor. Apparently they only naturally get carbs from the digestive bits of the herbivores they eat. Anyway noted and will probs just carry on with both.
Cat won't really be touched at this point let alone picked up so fuck knows how we'll clip her nails. But like yours she is free range and always up a shed/fence/tree so...that's a problem for next month.
Sheppz-

Just read the ingredients, there's dry food with a very low meat content and others with over 90%, there's shit quality dry and wet food the fact that they're wet or dry will kit be the reason they're bad.
Cats also crunch through skin, muscle and bone in the wild, a diet of solely wet food doesn't recreate that and a lot of cats on solely wet food develop bad teeth problems.
There's no magic formula, be very wary of Internet conspiracy bullshit, by the best quality food you can afford and it will eat and don't worry about it.
As for nails, the more comfortable your cat gets with you the better it'll get but they'll still fucking hate it and it might always be a two person job.

I don't know what the conspiracy about dry food says but our two are very healthy on a mix of the two and growing up we had a dry food only cat who lived past 21, I wouldn't overthink it. Just buy quality food, not cheap crap with grain fillers.
Yes you gotta clip em every now and then. Just when they start getting long and sharp. We do ours every couple of months but they spend a lot of time climbing outdoors, indoor cats may need more regular clipping
