Has anyone used something like this for nighttime sleeps?

My five-week-old is absolutely dreadful at night. We are bedsharing most of the night but still waking many, many times and often not even sleeping for even and hour stretch. Baby is super fidgety when asleep so this is also severely limiting how much sleep I get, even when baby does sleep a while. I do know this is lack of sleep is perfectly normal at this age, but I am fast approaching breaking point. I have a toddler DC so time to rest during the day is non-existent.
During the day baby sleeps relatively well in the pram, or sling, or in bouncy chair... all of which have a degree of motion. Hence wondering if a lie flat crib that rocks itself might help me to get more sleep at night? But I'm not aware of these being used at night generally, so unsure if it's safe or if it might create a reliance on motion long term?
Any experience would be appreciated.
Just to add - baby doesn't like being swaddled and fights to get arms out. Also we have a sleepyhead and it yields mixed and limited results. Won't take a dummy.
