FreeCAD has all the features you need and I truly do appreciate it for its ambitions. But it is pretty much all around terrible software. On every metric, except the license it falls behind commercial offerings by a significant margin.
Something like Fusion360 or onshape is a pleasure to work with, with a well designed interface, great stability and comprehensive features. In my experience using FreeCAD meant significant amounts of pain and wasted time, even if it stable. If you are working with multiple parts FreeCAD becomes quite experimental.
You can definitely achieve what you want with it. But it's up to you whether the investment in time, effort and frustration is worth the license.
