Does anyone have any experience using any of AstroNvims configuration engine plugins without using AstroNvim wholesale? I was considering trying out https://github.com/AstroNvim/astrolsp for configuring all of my LSP stuff and was wondering if anyone had any words of advice/wisdom/caution?

You could wait for Neovim 0.12 (and AstroNvim 6) as it will be even easier to configure LSP (fewer plugins)

one way or another I went with lazyvim (actually i think it was because of https://github.com/rafaeldelboni/cajus-nvim). Anyone want to sell me on Astro?

I am not a salesman. I have several configs installed. I use Astronvm for a batteries included experience which is very well maintained, easily extended by Astrocommunity packages (which also helps find useful plugins to use). I use Astronvim so I could get going quickly and I value the stability and lack of yak shaving required, so I can get some coding done. Astronvim is three plugins (astrocore, astrolsp & astroui) and there is a user config template with lots of example on how to customise it. This is what https://github.com/practicalli/nvim-astro5/ was created from. Its fast and even runs very well on my Android phone from 2017 (via Termux) I have dabbled with Lazyvim which has some nice touches, especially for the folke/Snacks qol plugins. The Clojure extension had an issue with Neovim 0.11. Its a simple fix to swap the sexp plugin for paredit (hopefully the clojure extension is fixed soon/already) I have kickstart installed too, so I can learn (experiment) how to write a config for Neovim using Lua (as and when I get time).
