Is it the case - electrum does NOT support nfc operations? Coldcard Q w tapsigner cards would be economical way to do multi-sig, but the cards need NFC.
Are you referring to this product[1]? What makes you think you need NFC to set up a multisig with it? I read their guides[2] and it seems you can import your details through an SD Card too. I failed to see any mandatory requirements that you need to use NFC to do this[3]. CMIIW.
He is referring to Tapsigner card for the NFC. If it is Coldcard Q, I found out that it also support QR code which should be enough for fast transaction if Electrum support the type of the QR code. But if it is Tapsigner card, it supports just NFC, according to my findings about the card.
