How hard is it to add Gamepad support for your game?
If you're using an engine, you should find a plugin that improves their gamepad support to handle gamepad mapping, switching, active detection. There's often free, open source solutions like InputManager for Unity, baton for love2d, etc.

Input fields and Steam gamepad support with Unity game
In my last project we used daemon3000/InputManager for rebinding with the old input system. Worked well, but it's been refactored heavily since the version we shipped with (now supports local multiplayer better I think).

Do I need to add separate controls for xbox controller when I already have setup for gamepad? Whenever my button is detected it shows D-PAD[gamepad], D-PAD[xbox controller). I have only generic gamepad so I can't check if xbox controller will work with [gamepad] options.
I don't believe so, but i don't have much experience with this input system because i found it unintuitive. If you happen to give up on in too, I'm currently using this much easier alternative: https://github.com/daemon3000/InputManager/wiki/Getting-Started

Need some help with some specifics for working with Inputs when most of the game logic will be done in FixedUpdate
For this project I am already making a VirtualJoystick object that will clean up inputs to be read by other parts of the program as well as store previous input states to be looked at later to help determine if the player has done things like double tapped a button or done a particular motion input. I will also be using a custom input manager (possibly this guy) to allow players to reassign keys at run time as well as handle some specific needs of the project.

Need to vent about unity's new input system
However, this whole system is annoying to work with, doesn't support multiple controllers well, and doesn't support runtime remapping so people have stuff like InputManager to work around it -- by generating input settings for every possible input (like joystick_1_button_3) and creating an API to map strings against those inputs (which can be changed at runtime).

Why You Should Use the New Input System in Unity + Overview
Yeah, I use this open source one for runtime rebinding in the old input system. Although I'm on an older version that assumed single input and have made a bunch of changes.

Best controls for switching weapons in a top down shooter
See this C# example (uses Unity but you could replace InputManager_Unity.cs with an implementation that queries engine api). Or here's one in lua.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing baton and InputManager you can also consider the following projects:
SDL_GameControllerDB - A community sourced database of game controller mappings to be used with SDL2 Game Controller functionality
ParticleEffectForUGUI - Render particle effect in UnityUI(uGUI). Maskable, sortable, and no extra Camera/RenderTexture/Canvas.
lazynput - A game input device abstraction layer.
AssetStudio - AssetStudio is a tool for exploring, extracting and exporting assets and assetbundles.
UIEffect - UIEffect is an effect component for uGUI element in Unity. Let's decorate your UI with effects!
Impulse - XInput rewritten using Windows.Gaming.Input API to support Xbox One impulse triggers
UniSense - The Unity extension for DualSense controller
InputSystem - An efficient and versatile input system for Unity.
