Honestly, why bother? The Steam Deck's built-in controls are way better for the games on there. Save your Joy-Cons for the Switch.
It's actually easier than you'd think: Just make sure your Joy-Cons are in pairing mode, then scan for Bluetooth devices on your Steam Deck. Select the Joy-Cons when they appear, and you're good to go. No complicated rituals needed!
