Should I rather get another hardware wallet and try to get my inventory over there?
What is your exact model of ledger hardware wallet?
Old and retired model S is slower than newer models, but I don't think this change would speed anything in your case, and your computer hardware and processor is more than enough.
Maybe hardware wallet devices with faster processors will have less issues with many transactions, but this is just my speculation.
it's not faster yet. I'll get a new hardware wallet on Tuesday, then I'll try to get everything over and will then reset the ledger.
Did you choose any other manufacturer for hardware wallet?
I would suggest getting something that is open source, and if you are only dealing with Bitcoin than Passport by Foundation could be good option.
As for other hardware wallets, I never heard someone had problems with mining rewards, but you can check the list I made for open source wallets available today:

I did some research about Trezor hardware wallets, and they are saying that Trezor is not designed as a mining rewards wallet because of high number of transactions,
so they are suggesting costumers to compile more transactions to one and then deposit to Trezor wallet.
Yes, My Nano S is an old model, it is several years old.
But I have the feeling that the problem with the speed is not due to the hardware.
For example, if I open Ledger live without connecting the Ledger to my computer, my computer works very hard to synchronize my transactions until the program crashes.
I ordered a Ledger Nano X because I don't just manage BTC.
I will empty my old Ledger Nanos and then set it up completely again and then use it as a second storage memory.
I've never seen a reason why mining rewards should stay on the pools longer than necessary, so I've always set it to the minimum payout amount.
I have of course changed this now.
But I had never heard of it before, which could cause problems at some point.
