Tyoe of Shamir's Secret Sharing used in Ledger Recover?
I am very sure it won't be. Trezor and Keystone use SLIP-49 which has some shortcomings which were improved upon by SSKR.

Isn't a strong bip-39 passphrase enough?
SSKR is an improvement on SLIP-39. SSKR comes with a seedtoolcli. Tezor hardware wallets use SLIP-39 if you have one of those.

SSSSS - Non-native Shamir Backup for seed phrases
SLIP-0039 is not is not round-trip compatible with BIP-0039. SSKR / BCR-0011 is based on SLIP-0039 but improves upon it by adding this compatibility.

Splitting BIP-0039 Mnemonic
Please see the discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/ibkls4/does_ledger_have_plans_to_implement_shamir_secret/ Maybe ask here if the Ledger developers nicely if they still plan to implement Shamir's Secret Sharing, If Ledger do not implement Shamir's Secret Sharing (e.g. SSKR) then maybe consider purchasing a Trezor which implements SLIP-39. Bear in mind that SLIP-39 is not round-trip compatible with BIP-39.

Getting MultiSig Protection with a Single Hardware Wallet - Could be a better solution.... For personal vault
Or use a single hardware wallet that implements a version of Shamir Secret Sharing (SSS) e.g. SSKR and store your steel share backups in multiple locations.

How do I find the target hash
The target is stored in the block header. You can see it in any block explorer labeled BITS or nBits. It is stored in a compressed format, as described in Mastering Bitcoin https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook/blob/develop/ch10.asciidoc Scroll down to "Target Representation"

You should read this chapter - it kinda explains why the chip need to be able to manipulate and access the private key. It works exactly the same way for every hardware wallet.
