I too have ridden with my arm in a cast -- not as aggressively as without, certainly.
I remember flapping my elbo up and down to control throttoel and needing to strengthen my left arm for some of the slow speed manuvers.
Most anything that can be said, even by someone that has gone through the procedure, would be subjective and may not apply to your situation. Therefore, I would suggest experimentation and research. If you're about ready for fusion, doubtless you have a wrist brace of sorts available to you... Barring that, you've probably got an old sock, a ruler (or a few sticks) and some duct-tape...
Why not try to imobilize your wrist joint as you physician has described? Splint across the wrist to preclude yaw/tilt/roll and try to figure out how you'd feel. Fully knowing how this could work for you will probably also help your mind be at ease with the procedure and more accepting of the outcome... Why not just try it?
