Not true for tight small city yards.

I would need a layer of mulch deeper than any of my in ground plants could handle.

I have exactly that, a 1” layer of straw mulch protected my raised garden beds. You can also use biodegradable “plastic” mulch too.

You don’t need raised beds to mulch them?

But then the mulch won't stop the weeds unless I do it deep enough to hurt my plants. I don't understand why you are so adamant that works for you with a completely different setup is so important for me to do.
