You wont get hemorrhoids anymore and you're much less at risk for blood clots but your neck will hurt from looking down all the time. It's a pretty good trade.

I think I read that standing only desks aren’t necessarily good but that it’s good to alternate between standing and sitting. So maybe an adjustable desk.

in theory it's always good to get off your ass so i am generally a fan of standing desks but the problem is sometimes i feel lazy and want to sit on my ass.
maybe get one of those ones that can like, lift up if you want to stand

You can get a motorized desk that can go from a seated position to a standing position. I'd also suggest arms for your monitors so that you can keep your neck straight and your desk clean.

You can even account for the neck issue via VESA mounts as well. So yes to standing desks

The purpose of the standing desk is to improve blood circulation. You don't need a standing desk if you're moving around a lot. The problem isn't sitting, after all, it's sitting too long and not taking breaks. There are motorized desks which adjust height, but those can cost hundreds of dollars and take up space on power outlets (you're using a surge protector with lots of outlets for your pc, though, right??).
Just get diabetic socks, practice proper ergonomics, and remember to take breaks every two hours. Standing desks are for morons with too much money on their hands believing what every science journal hot off the press tells them...and professionals who are on their feet all day anyway.
