To avoid cluttering up my main toolbar and context menu, I put the items I use occasionally into Favourites - i.e. the opposite of it's implied purpose.

If you set Preferences->Look and Feel->Icon size to Small and Preferences->Look and Feel->Show text under icons to Never you may be able to fit all the icons on the top row, depends on monitor resolution and window width.

IMO - using calibre's keyboard shortcuts is the most efficient way to drive calibre. Actions that are invoked from the book list can have a single keystroke - eg 'E' to Edit the metadata, 'C' to Convert, and they can be reconfigured via Preferences->Keyboard.
