BlueWallet does not support Taproot, see https://github.com/BlueWallet/BlueWallet/issues/3880.

Thus you will import the seed into a better wallet like https://bluewallet.io that can sign the transaction

just use BlueWallet - https://bluewallet.io/ :-) I think it is easier than sparrow

https://bluewallet.io - excellent, easy to use wallet, Open Source and Non-Custodial

If $100 or more, there are some good suggestions like BlueWallet (https://bluewallet.io/).

Exactly this. Blockstream Jade hardware wallet used with Sparrow wallet on a laptop with linux, to make transactions. Then Bluewallet for a watch-only wallet on your phone device.

I also use my blockstream jade airgapped with sparrow wallet on a linux laptop which I have been extremely happy with. You can also use BlueWallet for phone.
