Zed is now open source
Elpaca [1] does not do this. I use it and it works a treat.

Returning emacs user - what packages are common now?
As others have said your packages work well and should still be widely supported. use-package has been blessed by the maintainers of emacs and will be a default package when Emacs 29 is released. If you are looking for another package manager /u/nv-elisp 's https://github.com/progfolio/elpaca would be a good one to checkout.

If you like Straight, you should try Elpaca
One of my biggest challenges with it is for packages that have extensions. Where they just work with Elpa/Melpa but then when you convert over to Elpaca they break and you have to go digging around Elpaca's manual and try to figure out the right file incantation that will make things works.

How to Make Emacs Look Cooler with Simple Customization
Elpaca. https://github.com/progfolio/elpaca - an alternative to the built in package manager. Very fast with an eminently decent UI, and allows for any or no fine-tuning how any given package should be installed.

Emacs lisp huge single file packages

emacs can be "heavy" but still blazingly fast
If you get around to actually measuring it, let me know. I'm collecting data points for comparison with Elpaca.

Will any emacs package manager let me audit packages before installing them?
Elpaca has the elpaca-fetch command for this purpose. It fetches a package repository and will display the commit log. Each commit hash is a button which will open a magit diff view if magit is installed. It could very easily be extended to work with vc, ediff, etc. Here's a screenshot of what the update log looks like:

BTW, as an alternative to swiper, you can check out consult-line and related commands from consult.

Emacs 29.1 Released
Emacs has code peek.
With lsp-mode it has that little window: https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-ui/#lsp-ui-peek
Personally I use eglot with consult which temporarily switches the entire buffer to do the "peek" functionality rather than popping up a tiny window: https://github.com/minad/consult

Highlight multiple lines in consult-line
Thanks for working on this! I just added a consult--maybe-recenter function in a recent commit. This is a nice idea since it can reduce the jumpiness of Consult preview quite a bit.

Returning emacs user - what packages are common now?
An example relevant to your list would be some changes many people are taking with their completion framework - using package that leverage core emacs functionality rather than replacing it with a complete package that 'overrides' it. Consult, vertico, orderless and associate packages come to mind here. If you do a bit of a search you'll find plenty of info. Here is a video from Prot on the subject, but there are many others as well. I think Prot actually went on to write his own completion system to overlay native emacs functionality as well.

What's that email client doing here?
For the "lauch workspaces", I use burly which just uses simple bookmarks. Then with consult, I just use C-x b, then m to narrow to bookmarks and I have all the workspaces available (remote as well).

Why does elpaca make emacs startup so much faster?
Wow, interesting that my response is getting down voted. It seems not enough that I give away my work for free. Nevertheless I appreciate support from the community, as other Emacs package developers. The support is actually helpful. To clarify, publishing my configuration would translate into quite a bit of work, requiring separation of private and public bits.

Which package manager should I use?
They're still coming in. This one is from yesterday: https://github.com/minad/consult/issues/793

Alternative keyboard layouts
If you like meow-visit also try imenu it is built into Emacs and can be very useful either by itself or as part of consult. consult also has a consult-mark function that can be helpful, meow kind of breaks it since it makes a lot of marks.
