After doing some more digging the libinput "DragLockButtons" option may help with this: > Option "DragLockButtons" "L1 B1 L2 B2 ..." > > Sets "drag lock buttons" that simulate a button logically down even when > it has been physically released.

On the one hand, you want to allow a single-click-then-move to trigger drag-and-drop behaviour, while at the same time you want to prevent a single-click-and-move from triggering drag-and-drop behaviour. The only way to address this is to separate cursor movement from clicking and so allow independent control over both activities. This can not be accomplished with a single mouse - you either need to look again at larger trackballs (with a central ball, Expert or Orbit-style), or some other input device, for example a trackpad, trackpoint/joystick, dedicated "click" key/button, or breath controller.
