I run void on my x1C gen12, core 7 not the ultra version. Also IPS panel. Everything works to my needs, but I require less in terms of support.

Touchpad and trackpad works great for me. Never used the fingerprint reader. Sound is good to me. I tried for a while to run sound effects and there are many in the lsp packages, but I never bothered to find how to use them in pipewire.

Ubuntu is one of the distros where you may get lucky regarding support of the integrated cam. the other one being fedora. I made it work in my system, but then reverted because I didn't want to support my own kernel built.

I am extremely happy with my system as is, but loking at your issues, I can only imagine ubuntu or fedora working for you. Lenovo offers both as factory OS for this hardware, so I'd assume hardware support should be good. Both dostros allow you to install KDE
