How many Adblocking/Privacy extensions are too much?

So as the title mentions, I'm wondering how much is too much?

I am currently using Brave with the setting to:

Aggressively block trackers & ads
Only connect with HTTPS
Block fingerprinting
Block cross-site cookies

In addition to that, I have installed the following extensions:

uBlock Origin
Ghostery
Decentraleyes
DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials

So my question is: Is this overkill? If so, what should/could be removed that may be redundant? I want as much coverage as possible, but not have things bloated.

Ditch ghostery and replace with privacy badger.
- Is PrivacyBadger not made redundant by uBlock or any of the other extensions?
  
  PrivacyBadger functionality is now built into uBO.
  
  Source?
  
  arkenfox wiki
  
  Where exactly does it say that??
  
  You are right to be confused.
  
  Privacy Badger blocks 3rd-party trackers.
  
  Firefox (and Brave) can block 3rd-party cookies, and uBlock can block 3rd-party scripts and frames.
  
  I hope to find this out, too. I'm using UBO and Privacy Badger on Firefox.
