Although I have not used paperless-ng (extensively) so far, I have been using almost the same method for many years and could not be happier. When I receive a document, I do the same every time: 1) Stamp it with the pagination stamp. 2) Scan it. 3) Dump the scan into a single large digital folder. 4) Dump the original into a physical folder (titled as you do). It relieves the mental burden of categorising since you do the same every time – stamp, scan, dump. And repeat. In the very rare case you need to find the original it's also superior, thanks to OCR and the sequential numbering being represented on the scan.
