The TPM2 package is suitable for all required operations, AFAIK.
I'm also sure about the PKCS11 provider which I follow close enough.

Please raise detailed issues if you have something particular.
I remember that you mentioned a particular issue about PKCS#11, could you
please try the current version?
My colleagues working on PKCS#11 are not aware of any Yubikey issues, BTW.

Third-party engines may be a problem but as we don't break ABI, it's not a
problem of the moment.
