I am hesitant to barge in with an opinion, as the work done by Darktable volunteers is great, and I am super appreciative of the efforts! At no point below do I mean to say that improvements are a must, given how awesome Darktable already is. When I think about what would have helped me when starting with Darktable, I think a passive configurable to-do list with a hierarchy would be helpful. An example mock-up is attached.

Maybe nested workflows in a distant future. Maybe actual guided and programmable workflows based on the workflow tree, e.g. after reviving the https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/issues/16722
