Since I see Helix being mentioned here, I'll start this comment by noting that I am the author of the helix-vim[1] repo which has been shared very widely at this point. I still stand by everything I wrote in that repo, but these days I'm a very happy NixVim user, with my own little mini NeoVim distro, JeezyVim.[2] I hate to do the "Nix fixes this" meme, but in this case, it really does fix this particular issue of the NeoVim plugin ecosystem and its constant breaking change update culture being a nightmare for end users. You can build something that works and pin the dependencies all the way down and have a NeoVim config which will pretty much work forever. Yes, the initial investment is significant, but for me it's absolutely worth it to be able to provision any machine, any VM, any bare metal server and have my entire NeoVim config completely at the ready with all required dependencies in place.
