I just want to collect the user's Wallet Address. I think these permission are too much. I don't need to see balance or initiate transactions. Just read-wallet-address.
What is the easiest and clean way to get the wallet address? This is the code I am using:
const provider = new ethers.providers.Web3Provider(window.ethereum)
await provider.send("eth_requestAccounts", []);
signer = provider.getSigner()
const walletAddress = await signer.getAddress()
This is currently the only option. There's no "read address but cannot request transactions" permission type. Your code is correct.

You can checkout our new opensource plugin to MetaMask, it enables you to “fake” any wallet address, search for “TresConnect MetaMask Impersonator” in the Chrome Extensions Store.
