Thick layer of pine straw mulch and hand pulling.
I do a lot of hand pulling. Wont be able to use pine straw because I am already using a different kind of mulch.

Stay away from potentially volatile broadleaf herbicides like dicamba and 2,4-D around the garden
Yea Ive noticed the sprayer will hurt my mondo grass(or whatever its called).

For my lawn I’ll spot spray my front lawn with Celsius. But I don’t spray anything in my backyard while the garden is growing.
For big areas of grass, is the sprayer I use still not a good option?
I dont grow any food in my gardens anymore if that means anything going forward.

I personally don’t like to use hose end sprayers to apply herbicide. It’s too difficult to control the amount of product you are putting down. That’s a personal preference. But if it’s worked for you in the past then I don’t see a reason for you to stop.
In that case you can apply whatever you like and just be careful to not get any on your desired plants.
ETA: if you have established plants you could apply a pre emergent like Preen. I’m not sure what other pre emergent herbicides are ok to use in the garden. In the lawn there are quite a few options like prodiamine and dithiopyr, among others.
