Well I'm not as concerned about people monitoring/intercepting the

the hardware of my computer being accessible. I know it's not easy to
acquire info about someone's computer from the internet, and if the
computer's running Qubes I would imagine it's harder, but I think it can
be done (definitely Mac address but possibly more info).

I would say that the safest way to assume, that there is no
invisibility.
But using a Whonix DVM -> whonix-dvm-ws-14-dvm will likely be a good
option.
You might want to learn about this here:

Addtionally you might want to ask yourself: What are the threads
your protecting against?
And then try to figure out what is the weakest part in your setup.

Actually it is VERY easy to "acquire info about someone's computer from
the internet". Also unfortunately, while Whonix does a good job of
masking your IP address (your location), it does NOT protect you against
the website you visit from taking and keeping your browser
"fingerprint". For more information on your browser fingerprint see:
https://panopticlick.eff.org/
Whether any of this "fingerprint" data is actually gathered depends on
the website that you are visiting. It is also possible that a
well-intentioned website could be unknowingly hacked by a government
entity to collect just such information. Further the website could be
placing a cookie on your machine.
The usual actions here are to make your browser settings more common so
your "fingerprint" is not unique. Also using a temporary qube and
deleting it after use will erase any cookies.
