Note that

Option "TappingButtonMap" "lmr"

causes a double tap to be a middle click and a triple tap to be a right click. I prefer it the other way around so I changed it to

Option "TappingButtonMap" "lrm"

x-device-input is a file unique for X11.

sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-touchpad.conf

Check the riverwm configuration/documentation that they should have something there, but IMO, if you want to have no issues with Wayland you either leave it, or try it out Hyprland (I am not an "Wayland Hater" I daily drived for half-a-year)
