After juggling a dozen WP sites for clients, I have opinions on pretty much everything WordPress.
Child themes are still the correct way to override a theme you do not control.
My rule of thumb: if a plugin has not been updated in a year, it is a liability.
wp-cron only fires on page views, so low-traffic sites should switch to system cron.
Curious what everyone else here thinks about it.
I did a bit of searching but could not find a recent thread on this, so here we go.

Headless WP is fun but a lot of moving parts for a blog.
System cron fixed my missed scheduled posts too.

Managed hosting saves me enough time to be worth the markup.

Interesting — I will have to try that.
Good point, I had not thought of it that way.
