My Lenovo tablet, otherwise in fine shape, is useless because the
little plastic actuator that actually pushes the switch no longer
reaches the switch.  I can only assume wear.

 One of my earlier Android tablets woke up when it was picked up (moved).
So no need to use its switch in everyday use.

That means leaving it on when I'm not using it, which I don't like to do -- especially since I use it only once in a couple of months.

I don't want to replace my phone because of something stupid like
that.

 My current Android phone (Galaxy S10+) wakes up with a double tap to the
screen. Again no need to use (and wear out?) the switch.
 This of course won't help you currently, but I suggest for your future
device purchases that you get one with this capability. It should help
with your switch paranoia...  ;)

I chose the Pixel2 because of the camera quality (and the price, of course), which is what I mostly use it for.  Nonetheless, I will take your counsel under advisement.
