Lobotomizing Gnome
Good observation.
Turning off extensions is where OP lost me. In the last year, the single biggest quality of life improvement for me has been discovering the Argos[0] extension, which basically lets you put whatever text/menus you want in the top bar by writing scripts that print to stdout. To save space, I hid the dock (I use [1] as a replacement alt-tab), so the top bar is the only piece of screen that isn't OS chrome.
On my top bar right now I have the time in four time zones (including the ever-important UTC to save a mental calculation when logging at logs), the name of the current Wifi access point, and some VPN details gleaned using a combination of ip r, ping, nc, and curl. Another extension shows free RAM. I look at them dozens of times a day.

The curse of being good in IT
I’ve heard this called “the defaults lifestyle” on the Software Defined Talk podcast. I’m forever locked out of nirvana because I have an iPhone but not a Mac, but that’s fine.
Occasionally plugins are worth the expense though. I finally discovered Argos[0] and I’m using it to show time in UTC and a couple other time zones. Super handy.
But if I try some new software and find that I have to tweak it a bunch to make it usable, that means the devs have different aesthetics and I should probably try something else.

I am novice nixos user and I didn't really write any of nix expressions yet. I would like to have Xfce's docklike taskbar plugin (github link), so I would greatly appreciate if somebody could make one nix expression for me so I could build it? I also hope it's not too hard, but I am too sick and tired atm to comperhend documentation regarding it.

Why do icons in the window buttons seem to use random themes (Linux Mint 21 with XFCE)? I'm using Papirus icon pack, and it otherwise works fine, but in the Window Buttons panel applet, they seem to follow random themes. Can anyone help me out as to how I can fix?
Because of default xfce window task manager sometimes picks icons from .desktop files sometimes picks from window icons. I recommend xfce4-docklike-plugin

Ubuntu History (Unity Desktop Site, 2010-2017). In my opinion, Unity was (and still is) a professional polished desktop, which gave Ubuntu a unique identity.
A couple of distros now bundle the very nifty "docklike" task switcher, which is rather snazzy and integrates well: https://github.com/nsz32/docklike-plugin
