Yep, that is correct. Stay on the train. From Shibuya station, the railway is operated by a private company outside of tokyo metro. So your 3 days metro pass won't work here.
Suica is good tho.

The device will prolly last around 5hours of use. I highly recommend a couple of powerbanks in when you go around. For both phone and pocket wifi.
Both options shows unlimited data so you should be fine. Coverage-wise.. I can't confirm for you since I only went to Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Kobe.
However for those areas at least, I found zero issue with the coverage. Speed is satisfactory as well. Fast enough that I didnt get any buffer from youtube vids.
oh! the 3 day pass doesn't work in this route because the last train was operate by private company. i see, means from start to end i only able to use suica/passmo? then the 3 day pass is wasted in this whole route? any possible alternate which can utilize 3 day pass together with suica/passmo so the cost will reduce thru the 3 day pass? no? yes?
thanks for the wifi info, very informative! noted.

travelrecommends (TR) offers unlimited data at high speed
pocket wifi offered by airbnb is unlimited as well...but speed wise is slower than TR
