I own the Technics but I don't own the wall, hence no shelf.

Ah, I assumed as much.
One would hope a DJ deck would be pretty much immune to sound waves and vibrations?

The Technics 1200G does seem pretty accomplished in this regard - the damped footers can move laterally as well as vertically, and the constrained layer principle of the chassis with the overall mass I assume must be helping matters (?).
Certainly the 'table is way more impervious than the Rega RP8 I previously had, and the Clearaudio Concept was actually unusable. Years ago I lived on an old Dutch barge moored on the Thames in central London. I had a cheapo Project Debut Carbon at the time and I must say the river isolated things nicely

One thing that corncerns me about swapping the flashy LP12 for
for a 1200G is that it has on inboard PSU. Wonder if anyone is making a separate PSU for the 1200G ?

Many modders were making external PSUs for the classic 1200, so I guess there are for the new 1200G too. There's a guy in Italy who's a master in doing mods for the 1200 including external PSUs (and I know he's working on the new versions too), and you might certainly do much worse than drop him an e-mail because he really knows his stuff: That said, on my MKII I have never felt the need for an external PSU....

The old SL1200 had a linear PSU with a bloody enormous transformer under the platter. The effect of its vibration at 50Hz, with harmonics at 100Hz, 200Hz etc effected the tracking of the cart. The effects of the vibration were audible. Getting the transformer into an external box removed the problem. The new SL1200 has a tiny transformer, and without the same amplitude vibration. It doesn't need to have a big transformer, because the onboard PSU is SMPS.
