Off topic but I mention that the "tip" either lag or lead and lead is deceleration. No Lag! It has been talked about here, the forward bending shaft. I can see in many players what I will call a "faux lag" the right wrist does not maintain a fixed bend. It is easy to feel pp#3 by unbending the right wrist.
Now, lets displace the Center Of Mass of the club head from the axis of the shaft. 2 additional pieces of Physics are introduced. Toe up/down and torque.
1. with the COG thailing and on the plane we have toe up when accelerating and toe down when decelerating.
2. as the COG leaves the plane of the shaft we have toe down equated to radial force and torque- laging (tending to lay the COM back-open if above the shaft plane) when accelerating and leading(tending to have the COM pass the shaft- close of above the shaft plane- Roll under if COM is below the shaft plane (Driver as example)) when decelerating.
All making the dynamics a computer learned event.
ie. learn a motion then let the computer learn how to hit the ball.
I include some shaft dynamics data as illustration.
PS.
This data shows that the pro's have a forward bend in their shaft at impact- Throwaway- I think so, Also a loss of effective Club Head mass. But lets hold that analysis for another post.

Your question requires more information on dynamics.
If you are questioning forward lean- maybe, maybe not but forward lean is not the critical factor.
If you are questioning COM vs. hands on grip, the answer is yes. The shaft will be bent forward- lag gone, effective mass decreased. Mass is developed from the ground or the last lagging component closest to the clubhead.

ps. Quick reply Huh?- just happened to be here editing.

Can you point to golfers that don't unbend the right wrist?

Well- not off-hand, but, I paraphrase- " Throw or drive the right forearm, not just the clubhead, into impact with the selected degree of right wrist bend.." and then "Drag that wet mop" and also Impact fix.
I see so many video's where the elbow-stalls and A faux #3 can be easy to hold because the unbending right wrist is almost automatic and can even chase a NO LAG forward bent shaft and feel like LAG is still there.
Just the way I see it but I am still in the TGM envelope- I think??
