I bought and paid for Nova Launcher like 15 years ago and it’s been my go-to for that time; however, over the last year or so it’s been abandoned and is a buggy mess.
What ship should I jump onto? (stock google launcher is giving me the ick)

This is my choice as well. I like Niagara but the different way they do widgets I just can never get. KISS launcher is being true to its namesake, and I like most of it.
Kvaesitso is like a mixture of both to me. It doesn’t have the notification style of Niagara, but it’s simple in a different flavor to both Niagara and KISS.
I can get a clean home page like KISS with just a clock widget.
Swipe left and I get the app drawer with search bar focused (you can turn it off). On top of the drawer you can pin favorite apps and even shortcuts, as well as let it populate with your most used apps automatically.
Swipe up from home you get a dedicated vertically scrolling widget page. The built in default widgets are useful but it’s easy to add more. Downside is the widgets only stack vertically.
I’m just a bit irritated with the gestures to open the notification panel and quick access tiles because it uses accessibility system, and that freaks my bank apps to no end.
