What are the DWM patches you can't live without?
and i would recommend to use dwm-flexipatch, it makes the hole patching process very easy, and you can try out all the patches...

Firefox kills DWM
I just wanted to add that if anyone is experiencing this issue and using dwm-flexipatch then enabling the patch BAR_NO_COLOR_EMOJI_PATCH may solve the issue.

Newbie to window manager, why use awesome over other dynamic wm ?
a lot of functionality can be added with patches, but you have to try and juggle those all yourself (and work out any conflicts between them yourself) - there are some projects like dwm-flexipatch to try and make it easier to deal with them, but it's way more trouble than I am interested in

dwm-flexipatch: statuscmd integration in dwmblocks
To better understand how statuscmd works, I took a step back and decided to try some experimentation before patching my own build: I compiled dwm-flexipatch (obviously with BAR_DWMBLOCKS_PATCH and BAR_STATUSCMD_PATCH set to 1), and tried it with my patched dwmblocks and modified one of my statusbar scripts accordingly for testing purpose:

[dwm] Vanitygasp per tag?
I don't think I ever made a standalone patch for this, but you can derive what needs to be changed if you grep the dwm-flexipatch code base for PERTAG_VANITYGAPS_PATCH and have a look at what the changes are.

Is it possible to patch an already heavily patched & customized build of suckless program?
I like and use dwm but it was becoming an overkill for me to mix and match patches, plus updating of dwm from git, I started using dwm-flexipatch from bakkeby, which I suggest you to try. He's incorporated many patches - all the ones I needed where there, which can be enabled/disabled very easily. A drawback is the config.h file: It's a bit intimidating at first, because it includes the possible options of all patches, enabled or not.

dwm keeps crashing when opening some websites or when executing some commands
The workaround before the libXft upstream was corrected was to install (or manually patch the fixes from) libXft-bgra.
-
Xorg terminates immediately after the startx loaded dwm
I've attempted to patch libXft with libxft-bgra -> https://github.com/uditkarode/libxft-bgra I've executed the make install portion, how can I now replace the libXft with the libXft-bgra? When I try to: xbps-remove libXft I get: libXft-2.3.4_1 in transaction breaks installed pkg \libXft-devel-2.3.4_1 ~... pango-xft ~...sxiv-26_1` and many other dependencies. When I add them to my xbps-remove command, eventually even xorg would need to be removed.
