- If you are wanting notifications in teams there is no way to directly access the activity feed. However you could utilize power automate flows and trigger on new email from the outlook connector and have the Teams Action “post a message as the flow bit to a user” This will send you a chat message from the flow bot letting you know you have a new message, you could even customize the message to include the subject of the email and who it’s from. This should give you a banner notification and chat toast when they come in.

This feature request was considered by Microsoft carefully, but they decided to decline it, see Enable access to email from left tab panel · Community (microsoft.com)
I guess it depends on an individual's work style and preferences. Having the app available would cater to the widest variety of needs because those who do not prefer it can simply not use it.
I have just come off of a week in which I would have almost never had to leave Teams. But I had to, to check my email. I feel it slowed me down significantly. And there are people in my org who are simply more comfortable in email at this point. There are only so many times that you want to keep forwarding emails to Teams.
