Yes you are wise. I have a couple gifts ordered from companies who have decided to bombard me with spam, but I need to track the order until it arrives and then I can block them.
I just make judicious use of filters, especially if I don’t know if the company will honor the unsubscribe preference or just use that to confirm my email.
I have a number of emails and strings in filters that are an automatic delete because so many companies fucking spam shit constantly.
Just to add to this. Having a unsubscribe link in emails is a common way to trick ppl into clicking links, so if you do not know where the email comes from then just block it.
It did the same for me but I took it as an opportunity to wisely unsubscribe from all the crap in my gmail

If they give you a standard tracking number just slap it into https://www.packagetrackr.com/ and call it a day

You can usually unsubscribe from the marketing emails and still get the tracking notifications if you don’t want to wait
Edit: Also the ‘wisely’ was supposed to be ‘finally’ haha autocorrect needs to lay off the whiskey
