For your case, I'd suggest:
View Manager - Since you mentioned "books and documents," you might want to split those up into virtual libraries. View Manager lets you switch between different column sets for the VLs.
You already mentioned GetFileName.
Job Spy has a lot of helpful features, but make sure to read the tooltips.
Quality Check to find the embedded bookmarks, and Modify ePub to remove them.
Depending on what metadata you like to have, Count Pages, Extract ISBN, Library Codes (ISBN-10 to ISBN-13 conversion), and Modify Series all have their uses.
There's a number of options for cleaning the messy HTML out of comments; Job Spy has one, and there's Clean Comments and Comments Cleaner.
Even if you don't actually have duplicates, Find Duplicate's fuzzy matching is helpful for finding near-identical metadata (e.g. authors with middle initials, or the mess that's "Scholastic/Scholastic, Inc/Scholastic Inc").
Favourites Menu is
extremely helpful, especially if you use Job Spy (you'll understand what I mean).
I'm probably missing a few things here, but at least there's a start.
