Most any thunderbolt interface is gonna have low enough latency so you can track through plug ins. The Focusrite Clarret is the best bang for the buck in that department, and while the Focusrite driver isn’t accessible, Focusrite support is great about “Remoting” into your system and setting

I have the new mbp but I don't use the touchpad. I have an external wireless eyboard with a numpad which works great with pt. JUst be sure you have enough cpu power, once in a while with my overclocked i5, I get a nasty message from pt about not enough cpu. On Fri, 21 Jul 2017 13:07:08 -0400,
