Hi, if you want to save your apps in micro SD card, you can follow the below steps:

Choose Settings >> Tap on Apps >> Choose the app you would like to move to your SD card >> Click on Storage >> Select Change >> Choose SD card.

Also the samsung tab s5e canadian version that ships with the snapdragon 845 processor should get new updates you pay 1.5k here for that

Bad idea for a couple of reasons.

a) Most apps are designed to be installed & run from the internal storage. (unless otherwise specified). 

b) The internal storage will always be faster than any external sd card.

Also if your apps are installed on the SD card, you may run into issues with auto update and mentioned above, yes they will run alot slower from an external storage compared to internal storage. Pretty sure that was one of the reasons Samsung removed the SD card slot.
Whenever you have multiple storage it tends to cause issues. Same thing with an external battery and another reason Samsung made the their newer devices with a built in battery

Since at least Android 11, (Android 10 really) Google has introduced "Scoped Storage, among other things, the idea behind it is Privacy largely.

Read the links below, which reiterates what has already been posted regarding apps installed on an external sd card:
