I’m pretty sure it’s the rod length that’s causing the issue , not total weight of the combo .
I can fish one of my older Stradics that weigh 7+ ounces on a five foot St Croix rod , that gives a butt heavy or neutral feel , and not have any issues with my wrist .
I’m thinking with the longer length weight on the tip as it’s extended, moving the pivot point farther away, making my wrist work harder to twitch .
I have plenty of shorter rods that I enjoy using .
