this depends COMPLETLY on your use-case
but i agree that LVM is useless for most workloads
i sue it only for the datadisk of the fileserver to have the option
add anotehr 1 TB disk to the existung 5 and resize the volume

i have machines with /boot, rootfs, /var/log, /var/cache, /var/spool and /tmp
as own partitions or even own disks in case of virtual servers while the
"backup buddy" of the same machine has only /boot and /

for my workstations i have /boot, rootfs and data
/home is a bind-mount at data

but even here - the sizes are depending on your workload
10 GB would have been enough for my rootfs, but the setup is
planned to run > 10 years without a re-install, my co-developer
has the same partitioning and his rootfs has 11 GB in use while
we both have the samle working-tasks and i try to minimize
