Is this layout (see pic) the best keyboard layout to type both French (primary) and German (secondary) text?

This looks highly complicated and overkill. A lot of special characters aren’t needed in either language. Like the ß or the ð or the ł. It looks like a layout for someone who writes in a lot of European (and beyond?) languages. I’d personally just go for a default CH-German QWERTZ layout. The most common special characters in French (é è, à, ç and apostrophe) and German (ä ö ü) can be typed with shift+one key, anything else is extra and not used too frequently or at all anyway.
Edit: I looked at again more closely. It does look like a default CH-German keyboard, but with two extra layers of special characters, which I don’t see the reason for. So, yes, that is what I use and recommend to you, minus the special characters
