The last word on your question. There are innumerable Macs users using third-party keyboards, mice and monitors.


FWIW, I am currently using a $8.99 (US) Belkin wired 3 button mouse on my M3 iMac running Sequoia 15.4. I also tested a Bluetooth Compact Backlit keyboard from Matias, it also works fine.

This is a Loaded question that is doomed for failure


Any of the afore mentioned Apple Computers should work with Apple Displays and work with any Apple Keyboard or Apple Mouse


The caveat being Apple Computers and Apple Accessories


It is when a user introduces Third Party Devices / Accessories that things get cloudy


Some Third Party Devices / Accessories may function and some may not perform to the Exceptions of the user


As for Proof ?


Apple Designed and Built the computer to Apple's Specifications


Apple Designed and Built the Apple Displays, Keyboards and Mice also to Apple's Specifications


Apple Designed and Built the Operating System with the idea in mind that one would use their Accessories / Displays


In summation


Certain misconceptions persist regarding the relationship between Apple Computer and third-party devices, applications, extensions, services, and accessories.


These misconceptions often arise when third-party products fail to function or meet user expectations.


Apple is responsible for addressing issues with its own services, applications, operating systems, and accessories.


However, Apple cannot rectify user choices of third-party products  installed and used on their computers.


This responsibility lies solely with the third party to evaluate the performance of their products when used on an Apple Computer running the intended version of macOS.
