The Osmo Pro (X5 camera) will indeed record to the card without having a phone... the phone is not needed at all for recording.
BUT... maybe I'm missing something, but how the heck are you framing if you don't have a viewfinder (the phone)?
And yes, you can use the handwheel for focusing (you'd need to mark the handwheel ring with distance marks, as I have), but I'm still not sure how you can frame with any reasonable accuracy.
Because you find it a pain to set up, you should really pop the 20 bucks for the wired video adapter. It absolutely works like a charm, and now the Osmo is (almost) "instant on," you power up the Osmo and the DJI GO app instantly launches and is connected to the camera. I'll agree previously it was a pain in the rear to do the Wi-Fi connection, but this totally eliminates all of that.
As for it putting things off center and a strain on your arm, one of the little adapter brackets can be used to move the phone back into the same plane as the Osmo... I sometimes do that.
