Modpack info: Forge 1.20.1 (we can't upgrade it more), many entities like villages expected

Background: I hosted private servers on VPS for 2 times already. I'm familiar with Linux and Docker
1. Hosting choice
As much as I love tinkering with raw VPS, they seem less cost-effective than managed hosts for the same hardware. Thus, which one to pic? There is a comparison table of providers from Ultraservers, but isn't $1/RAM sus?
2. Server perf/util mods (please review/add)
Radium
Starlight
FerriteCore
ServerCore
ModernFix
Memory Leak Fix
Debugify (not perf but anyway)
Chunky, Chunky Border
Spark
Additional questions
What is the current best practice for managing modpacks and server settings? In the past, I used packwiz or raw unzipped .mrpack in git
