There's no chance that 9mm (etc) cases will be "too clean to resize" with carbide dies if tumbled in any of the dry media (with or without additives).
Since there's not much need to clean out primer pockets on pistol either, the straightforward choice is tumble, and decap/reload. The cases are clean going into all your dies, so there's no chance of dirt build-up or gamage to the dies.
You can also do it any other way you want as you learn and develop your own personal preferences.
EG, some folks who want various levels of clean primer pockets often decap using a non-sizing die and then tumble or water clean before reloading.
OTOH, some folks don't even tumble before reloading - maybe wiping down the outsides. Worst case, early replacement of pistol resizing dies that often cost less than a bag of tumbler media lol.
