(and yes, you absolutely should make sure you have a Skip Link in your site, but I think you're the one who should decide how and where that's implemented)
here's some i've gathered over the years in case you find them useful – i'll add the ones you have to this list as well:
// for wp-config.php
// define( 'CORE_UPGRADE_SKIP_NEW_BUNDLED', true );
// define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', false);
// OR
// define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', 5);
// https://chriswiegman.com/2021/04/creating-a-minimal-wordpress-theme-in-the-era-of-gutenberg/?mc_eid=c0038fb03d
