One thing I recently discovered is that macOS has no capacity to deal with overflow of the "menu bar widget" area. I had rotated my 27" 5K displays to portrait mode, which I find better for coding. That made the menu bar narrower. The widgets in the menu bar on the left side just don't appear when the frontmost app's menu is too wide. Since I use iStat Menus for this purpose, which puts (in my configuration) 6 different widgets there, and have several others as well, lots of icons were simply inaccessible. That is one argument for Pluto's approach here.
