So, is it better to change the following code like this?

document.addEventListener('touchdown', () => {
  // do something on touchdown
});

// =>

document.addEventListener('touchstart', () => {
  // do something on touchstart
});

If you still want to use touch events: yes. But you can also use pointerdown.
