EmulationStation Desktop Edition (ES-DE) v2.1.0 is now available for download! This release brings an optional dark color scheme for the menu system, scraping and viewing of PDF game manuals, aspect ratio settings for the miximage generator, improved system sorting support, and more!
ES Desktop is great but I prefer Skyscraper for media content https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper/tree/master

Is it fine to leave or even “ghost” a project?
Yes, but I would suggest to make it clear on the front page / README that the project is no longer being maintained and you would encourage someone to fork it if they want to continue development. For example, like this project did:
- Emumovies and Retropie Themes
-
GarlicOS Install Questions
You can try skyskraper, at least there is "Skyscraper works perfectly on macOS" in the description
- Skyscraper Import Module
- Overlapping/Doubling of scraped images
-
Skyscraper videos no longer downloading
This might help: Resource Cache
-
moderated Console/Netflix like experience
you might also try skyscraper, its a CLI tool for scraping folders to generate metadata for pegasus and other frontends: https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper

Retrama-Turbo Help
It's highly configurable through the command-line interface: https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper/blob/master/docs/CLIHELP.md

Comic theme with videos
Doing this by hand would be quite tedious, of course. Lars Muldjord's Skyscraper (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Scraper/#lars-muldjords-skyscraper) has an "import" module to cache local resources (https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper/blob/master/docs/IMPORT.md)

I hate as a person what I'm forced to do as a user
For gamepad control it looks like there is a program to do just that here .

What’s the best way to multiple inputs to a single pushbutton?
I have an unused 24mm button on my stick, and I’d like to be able to assign to it two (or more) inputs so it can be used with AntiMicroX for some other function (i.e. 'Select+R3' would press F12, which is bound to 'Reset' in Retroarch). I originally planned for this button to be used for Turbo, but I changed my mind once I realized how many possibilities there are with AntiMicroX. Like the button could run shell scripts or some win32 executable, which is pretty neat.

Playing Flash Games With a Controller
Like the other person said, Flash has no native support for that. Even games with controller support in mind (Like Super Mario Crossover) tell you to install programs for using controllers, so yeah, you would have to use an external program to accomplish this. I personally would advocate using AntiMicro which is available for free, just install and assign controller buttons to emulate key presses.

Already solved by: signalno11 (discord) by program: https://github.com/AntiMicroX/antimicrox/releases/tag/3.3.4
- Is there a way to scroll using a game controller on Wayland? Or map the controller to other mouse buttons?
