wouldn't wildcards still require a pause between commands and also mean adding it to every cmd?
No, but yes.
Wildcard commands will be recognized wherever they are in a phrase, E.G. if you have the commands "*Request docking* and *lower landing gear*, you can speak "Computer, request docking and lower landing gear for me" without pausing, and both commands will be recognized and executed.
The main caveat to using this method is that commands will run simultaneously(regardless of whether the "Allow other commands to be executed while this one is running" option is checked), so they could interfere with eachother if the order in which actions execute is important.
And, indeed, every command you want to make available to be executed in this manner does need the wildcards to be applied to a command phrase.
