This keeps my kindle faster, uses less battery, and it makes it easier if I for some reason need to reset my kindle and start over.

I have arrived at much the same practice by accident. I do most of my purchases with a web browser where the default Deliver To is now ‘Your Kindle Library’, whereas before it used a Default device/app. So nothing downloads until I choose to download or deliver it explicitly.
That’s really helped keeping things from getting out of hand on my newest Kindle (the previous Paperwhite, which is a backup, still has hundreds of books on it because they landed on it before they made the change to the Deliver To default).
I’ve had my Paperwhite SE for a couple of months now, and I only have a couple of dozen books on it at the moment. Those alone would take me weeks to read, and by the time I finish one book and take another up, it’s likely to be one I have not downloaded yet and that has caught my eye in the meantime.
So yes, 32GB seems to be way more than I can ever imagine filling up. That could all change if they ever added Immersion Reading to Kindles.
