Learning Rust, I didn't expect such a backstab
At the end of the day I don't really care which a project goes with, I've always just used vim-sleuth to automatically set my tab key to input whatever the current file's indentation is.

Trouble detecting shiftwidth correctly
VsCode has an internal function from auto-detecting indentation, while my config uses vim-sleuth with indent-blankline.nvim.

Builtin EditorConfig support
If you work a lot on legacy codebases, https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth is probably more what you need than editorconfig, as it will work even when one is not present.
-
New plugin for handling soft/hard line wrapping - wrapping.nvim
The primary advantage of using it is that it has built in heuristics for detecting line wrapping when opening a file (with some Treesitter magic for Markdown to make it more accurate), and also allows for manual swapping between wrapping types. You can think of it as the wrapping equivalent to vim-sleuth.

How do I force Neovim to always give me two space indents (or the correct indent) everywhere.
I just found about Tim Pope's sleuth: https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth It supports editorconfig but it also seems to have just better heuristics when an editorconfig file isn't present, so I just decided to replace `editorconfig-vim` with it.

How to set indentation dynamically based on language?
Another solution is try sleuth.vim, that sets automatically your indentation based on the project, buffer and editorconfig

Smartest auto-pair plugin nowadays?
A couple of years ago I chose delimitMate as plugin to automatically insert matching parenthesis, quotation marks etc. In the mean time I saw many new plugins getting announced that do the same. But I was quite happy with my choice and despite Lua rewrites I haven't seen anything obvious interesting.
