@Apoca·lypse:

In Photos and Documents Backup, consider also cloud services -> iCloud.

In Backup and Restore, You may add a full Image System BackUp solution such as AOEMI Backupper or any other tool to clone or duplicate system partitions. Using Time Machine?

In Periodic Scanners, removed ESET from there, You already have it in resident proection, You may add MalWareBytes Free.

In Browsers and Extensions, specify Your browser, also You may add uBlock Origin or AdGuard AdBlocker add-ons.

A PassWord Manager would be welcome also.

Please kindly reflect Your changes editing Your config, and announcing them here, thanks for sharing :)
