Nah. At level 12 with max DEX your unarmed strikes are supposed to do 1d8+5, so yours would always be doing minimum damage (with no crit bonus damage) as a STR monk. But that’s only if you are actually using Flurry of Blows. With such little damage output you’d be better off using your bonus actions on Patient Defense. You are putting all of your focus around being a tank, so if that is the case you’re better off leaning into it rather than being good at nothing.
