Onyx Boox e-reader
Mostly cause I got a good workflow going and I buy most of my ebooks from amazon. I use stuff like this anki add-on to mine sentences (although I have kinda stopped doing this lately) and got this jmdict dictionary for kindle which is pretty nice. I could probably set up something with the Onyx Boox reader and yomichan like others have mentioned but at this point I'm too lazy. Also the kindle is smaller and more portable, the Boox I have is slightly larger and better for manga though.

Thoughts on buying a kindle to get more reading done in Japanese?
Physical kindle is better because https://github.com/jmdict-kindle/jmdict-kindle will work much better (it works on Android too but does not support verbs well)

My tips for using Mushoku Tensei as Japanese light novel reading practice, having completed one volume a week for two months
I frequently found that the Kindle's Japanese-Japanese dictionary was too hard to understand (without a second dictionary), and the Japanese-English dictionary simply didn't recognise words. I finally waved the flag on learning via a Japanese-Japanese dictionary and tried out jmdict-kindle. It's way better! It recognises generally more words than either of the two dictionaries from before, displays the pitch accent (I cannot overstate how valuable this is for your speaking), and shows some handy example sentences.

A better dictionary on Kindle
I use this one which does its job well for me, especially that it detects inflected verbs and it's Japanese-English.

is doing 50 new words/day pushing it too far with Anki?
Early immersion is going to be painful, especially when you just started this month, I think if you do the pre-build deck for kuma bear 1 sorted by local frequency to clear out a few hundred most frequent words in kuma bear 1 it might be doable, but the number of words is not the only factor, without at least n5-4 grammar it would be really difficult to jump into reading native material. i would recommend watching the ToKini Andy genki grammar videos and installing grammar dictionaries on your yomichan to look up grammar as you read
