Strictly only the performance or can it also answer usage questions like:

When customers go through this workflow step, they use this option/button 90% of the time and the other options are used rarely?

It may be possible, but it will not be pleasant to use tracing to answer those kinds of questions. Sounds like something you can do with off the shelf product analytics tools like Amplitude or Mixpanel. Do you already have something like that?

We're using New Relic track performance (API response times, DB load, etc) as well as to track actions that users make on our front ends and APIs.

BI/funnel analytics is a use case that you might have more luck with https://www.tinybird.co/ instead.
