(O)h VL(C), we love you.
I think SMPlayer is the most popular and easy to use one, but it looks ugly as hell. mpv.net seems to be the next most popular and it looks just like the regular MPV with more features built into the GUI. Glow is a simple alternative to make your own config to control features, but I don't know if that is more customizable than VLC. Generally, if you want something specific, you do it yourself with MPV.

Any 3rd party players on Windows that support Plex's library?
This player is highly configurable, but doesn't have GUI for its settings - you'll have to look up what you need on https://mpv.io/manual/stable/ and paste it into the config file (or you can use this config generator: https://github.com/MattMcManis/Glow). Alternatively, you can try using mpv.net (which has settings GUI), as an external mpv option in Plex MPV Shim settings - it may work if you launch mpv.net manually before casting, but I didn't try that yet.

what is the best still maintained front end for mpv?
There's a pinned issue on the github page about the state of mpv.net development from January 2023 where the dev says that they started working on a cross-platform successor of mpv.net instead.

Must have programs for a fresh Windows 10 install.
mpv.net - A great open-source lightweight video player based on mpv with support for many formats and extensive configuration. Replaces MPC, VLC, PotPlayer, Windows Media Player, etc. Strongly recommend replacing your current video player with this, since programs like VLC are bloated and can have issues playing back videos and exhibit weird artifacts.

they can't be serious, right?
You can use mpv (I use mpv.net as GUI) since IINA is just based on it.
