What is recommended?

Well, now that you know how the Safari extensions work, the question is of course what added value. I myself am a fan of 1Password, which makes it easy to enter your passwords in a safe way. You must have a subscription. Another recommendation is Noir. This adapts the websites to a dark mode if that option is available. Finally, you have the Super Agent extension. This ensures that cookies are automatically activated on websites, so that those annoying pop-ups disappear.
