Are people intentionally crafting their resume in such a way that the first page(ish?) could essentially be read as a standalone thing -noting the highlights and main points. Then the remaining pages would, in a sense re-state some of what the initial page has but drill down and provide more detail. Is that a good approach to take?

That's pretty much what I did. Top half of first page: summary of skills. Remaining half covered most recent employment. 25 years ago that was the suggested format and I never saw any need for change.

I tried to leave out the tech stack acronyms except for listing 3 or 4 on the bottom of the resume which I had experience and wanted to continue with. I was asked for an updated resume so HR or recruiter could tell what I actually worked on and the technology.

That's essentially what I do. First page is all I expect the interviewer to read. My resume is 2 pages for >10 years of experience.

I agressively delete unrelated skills and promote related skills based on the job description.

If you're writing your first page as a standalone thing though that matches what the posting is looking for, do you think you need to eliminate unrelated things on the remaining pages?

Yeah, I wasn't super clear about my scenario. I have a "all skills" resume and I pare that down for each job.
