There's nothing to keep up with, really. You could very servicably get by with only uBlock Origin's default blocklists and the advanced mode with 3rd party scripts/frames on default-deny.

The rest are there because I'm slightly paranoid.

I'm concerned about fingerprinting.

Not much a way to get around that. Removing 99% of fingerprinting identification gives a stronger fingerprint than many defaults.
