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.

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:

savannah.gnu.org DNS problems?
(and thinking about strategies around this. there is elpa-mirror, which allows for the creation of local Emacs package repos, but I wonder about a good way of automating periodic updates to the mirrored repo without necessarily updating the packages of the local running Emacs.)

Lazy loading and lazy installation of packages
You could use https://github.com/redguardtoo/elpa-mirror before migrating your setup. The elpa-mirror create a local repository from you installed packages. Then you can use the local repository to replace remote repository during migration. As its README said, "15 seconds to install 115 packages".

melpa mirror on air-gapped network
Thanks for that. I downloaded a .zip from this resource which is maintained with elpa-mirror. I unpacked the .zip on the walled-off system, and I now have an up-to-date package archive online after modifying my ~/.emacs.d/init.el.
