thanks for this pointer. so sad those questions arise in stack* as we have a
user mailing list.

this was the way I started back in the 90's because it was the
idiomatic way. also when packs came around, I had a most of the stuff
in ~/.vim/pack/*/start.

Nowadays, the only things I kepts in ~/.vim/pack/*/start are the
ftplugins and every addition comes as late as possible.

as example

┌─ /home/mc/.vim/after/ftplugin/python.vim ───
│ vim9script
│ set noet
│ packadd indent-object
│ run indent/python.vim
│ packadd lsp
│ call LspAddServer([{
│ name: 'python',
│ filetype: ['python'],
│ path: 'pylsp',
│ args: [],
│ syncInit: true,
│ }])
│
│ inoremap <buffer> (fn def :<cr>……<cr>return ……<esc>2k$i
│ inoremap <buffer> (wh while :<cr>……<esc>k$i
│ inoremap <buffer> (wi with :<cr>……<esc>k$i
│ inoremap <buffer> (aw async with :<cr>……<esc>k$i
│ inoremap <buffer> (if if :<cr>……<esc>k$i
│ inoremap <buffer> (ie if :<cr>……<cr>else:<cr>……<esc>3k$i
│ inoremap <buffer> (fo for X in …… :<cr>……<esc>k^fXs
│ inoremap <buffer> (af async for X in …… :<cr>……<esc>k^fXs
│

when I start to chase a bug, comment all the ~/.vimrc lines
and decomment it line by line.

in the process, I have

inoremap <c-s>:w\|!tmux split vim /tmp/test<cr>

so I can easily see what changed.
