You don't think it seems likely that the obvious big difference, that they have physical copies and y'all don't, is what changes everything? I say this as someone who finds playing board games online, even on rules-enforcing websites like Rally the Troops, excruciatingly more difficult and unpleasant than playing in person.

It could be! I think I'd never forget my own tableau powers in person, but I think forgetting what other people have would be way worse in person.

Beyond that, I don't know how the trick taking and sequencing moves would move faster or be less frustrating but I guess it could, I don't know.

I'm experienced enough in TTS these days that my move back and forth between other games in person/online has been pretty seamless, with time increasing in some areas but decreasing in others (Imperium, Voidfall, Arkham Horror, Earthborne Rangers). But I do try to mention the TTS thing every time I talk about the game for this reason.

I’m fairly confident that the feeling of having no options to get back in the game will remain the same with card stock in hand!
