Haven't played in ~5 months, but I always have at least a dozen mods active (last game had 150+ mods active). I usually forget what mods I really liked (or can even tell which are which, sometimes), when I go to start a new game. So, I just surf around various up-to-date mod collections and look at popular mods on steam.
When it comes to collections, you can look through a few of the most popular ones and see what the common mods are between them, for an idea of "must haves."
Regardless of anything else, I want to make the UI better:
Steam Workshop::UI Overhaul Dynamic
Popular mods (that I have used in all games that I can remember, outside of Star Trek):
Planetary diversity (Link to the main, I use all of the dependents, as well):
Steam Workshop::Planetary Diversity
Gulli's Planet mods (he also makes other very popular mods):
Steam Workshop::Guilli's Planet Modifiers and Features
Real Space (system GFX improvement):
Steam Workshop::Real Space 3.7
NGC2 (Next Generation Collection) (is really popular):
Steam Workshop::(-NSC2 Season 6-)
Extra Ship components:
Steam Workshop::Extra Ship Components 3.0 [2.7+]
If I were to play today (and I might) I would probably use this modlist and call it a day:
Steam Workshop::Perfect Stellaris 2.8+ 2021 Updated 23 January--WORKING--
Steam Workshop: Stellaris. Hello there, My name is Julian and I tend to make lots of mod lists for games that I enjoy and Stellaris is one of them. I have worked on this for more than 9-10 days (and counting), and I reached th
Finally, Star Trek:
This mod group is it's own thing (cant mix with any other mods), and if you like any of the TV shows/movies, at all, it is worth playing at least once. The amount of time they have spent on this is ridiculous, and it has roughly the same production value as the base game (if you stick with the main ST races like Borg, Klingon, Romulan, Cardassian, Ferengi, etc.). They have a huge number of events based on all the shows and the whole galaxy is playable.

There is one I used to use that simplified what the comp needed to do re populations, made the late game not bog down as hard
It also added one or two automated construction ships that would build every mining resource.
I couldn't play it if I had to manually build every mining node

I was looking for the mod to help the late game pop issues but couldn't find it earlier (I should have bookmarked the reddit post about performance issues).
So, I just went back and looked again at the all time popular mods. I think it was part of a compilation of performance mods called "!! 00 Performance Plus: Late Game Booster." The original author got hacked and banned from steam, but it looks like it was updated and reuped here:
Steam Workshop::! Better Performance & Utilities [3.0]

Not sure how much I trust a mod with a bunch of Ching Chang lettering and comments. I do remember late-game titty-fucking my computer though, so I probably need to find something to curb that.I was looking for the mod to help the late game pop issues but couldn't find it earlier (I should have bookmarked the reddit post about performance issues).

There is an option to disable cluster starts (which guarantees early game neighbors) in the game creation screen when you first start a game. You will still get neighbors but they likely will be abit further and sometimesyouget glorious games all to yourself in one corner of the galaxy while everyone else duke it out in early game.

Shattered Ring start with Cybrex precursor seems like the most op thing imaginable in this game. Had my starting three ringworld sections and all 4 of the cybrex homeworld ringworld sections repaired by 2300. Tech tree cleared of non-repeatables by 2350, smoked a fallen empire shortly thereafter.

Whatever the default is, so like ensign? I mean obviously I wouldn't have run quite as wild in a higher difficulty game, but shattered ring + cybrex is insane no matter what difficulty you're on.

Cybrex is extremely good, along with gruun or whatever the tree people are. Shattered ring world is also OP, but arguments can be made that other starts are better depending on build. With a start like that and low difficulty the game isn't too hard for even a novice.

Well right it wouldn't be a particularly hot start for any of the total war civics, but you'd be hard pressed to find anything better for a tech or economy build.
