How many plugins is too many?

Child themes are still the correct way to override a theme you do not control.

After juggling a dozen WP sites for clients, I have opinions on pretty much everything WordPress.

The block editor is fine now, but I still install Classic Editor on client sites.

wp-cron only fires on page views, so low-traffic sites should switch to system cron.

Maybe this has been discussed before, but I could not find anything recent.

Would love to hear how you all handle this.
