I wouldn't swap any of those out in favour of Serum, but if I had a sixth Serum would be it.
It is the best plugin synth by miles, IMHO.

That's it, I don't have anything third party installed so can't use it.
Everything like drums, guitars and bass is tracked real with amps in rooms and I try get a sound I like without any plugins at all.
I used to have all the cracked wave plugs and a lot of Massey stuff but generally I think the stock plugs work OK for me.

Fabfilter make the best plugins.

& my oberheim one ,I can’t remember it’s name , it might be OB X D
Native Instruments Drum Lab (hybrid acoustic and electric drum kits)
Native Instruments Scarbee A-200 (epiano instrument)
Waves CLA Mixdown
Roomworks (reverb included in Cubase)
Helix Native
This is assuming I can use eq and compression in the built in channel strips in Cubase
Pigments (If I'm excluding DAW plugins) - Synth
Fabfilter L-2 - Limiter
Soundtoys Echo Boy - Delay
Softube Drawmer 1972 - Compressor
Baby Audio Crystalline - Reverb
I'd have a lot more Fabfilter as well, but I only own the one plugin from them.
Interested to hear about what you guys use Decapitator for as I'm struggling to get a sound I'm really happy with and end up falling back on other saturators. I know it's legendary so it's clearly me.
Helix Native
Soundtoys Little Plate
Modartt Pianoteq
Arturia V collection (ok that’s more than one plug-in)
It is the same with a Distressor, which is absolutely my favourite hardware compressor.
It is so versatile.
But yes, EL products are easy to overdo because they sound so good.
Big Freq nearly made the list too.

I think I went through a phase where I thought the plugins could fix a lot of problems and some were good for fixing things ... I used to use Drumagog and Slate samples all the time plus loads of Waves CLA and Altiverb but I found the more plugs you use the smaller and more harsh things get.
I've been working with a drummer / producer recently who's got some great mic's, preamps and compressors and I prefer the sound of the sources processed with that kit before it hits the converters. The drums I'm getting from him sound great just loaded in the DAW with nothing on them at all. I'm probably imagining it but I think the less digital processing the better.
Slate suite ( I know it is cheating, but it includes KHZ plugins )
Pluginguru Unify ( takes care of ALL instruments, drums etc }
All the rest is Reaper native ( Limiter is amazing)
All done in 4.
I think a lot of people class them as bland or not “colourful” because the GUIs are so simple and don’t look like a console, or a classic SSL or Neve EQ etc.
Saturn 2 is one of the best saturation plugs there is. It rivals all of the analogue modelled stuff that has a realistic GUI and probably outperforms them in real terms.

You don’t really need anything else from a mixing perspective. I’ve got shedloads of Soundtoys, Waves, Slate, Brainworx, Lexicon, Avid, etc etc.
FF are the ones I wouldn’t give up. In fact I’m using them exclusively so I can get rid of my Slate subscription and I’m gonna move to Reaper to save me £100 per month on PT ultimate and the Slate bundle.

Ozone (or UA BX masterdesk - tricky pick)
I would miss many - inc all the rest of the FF stuff, some Slate stuff, DDMF magic death eye, UA Oxford inflator, soundtoys echoboy and the arturia classic synths etc etc but could live with these 5
