I use a tag and column coloring for marking if the book has been read or not. I don't track dates, either first read or reread ones. I use a different custom column for any other kind of status (to be read soon, to be read later or nothing at all, meaning I'll probably never read those books, given the number of them and the average lifespan of Homo Sapiens).
I don't bother with Currently Reading - this changes every few days and I just mark the book as read when finished. I do back up my reading progress on my Kobo devices whenever I happen to connect them to calibre, which is a few times per month. So that's not really up to date either.
In short, I don't want to make things too complicated or micromanage every tiny detail of my reading life. Reading is a pleasure and relaxation for me, not a competition or something to track to the smallest details. I don't even record the year I read something, it doesn't matter to me. YMMV.
