Jenkins Essentials sounds great. I've become very good at not breaking Jenkins installations. Jenkins is a powerful tool, but it's hard to recommend when that's a skill you must acquire.

I remember when I installed the git plugin, which forced the credentials plugin to update, which caused runtime failures in communication with some other core plugin, so we reverted the install/update, which broke the whole system because the update had renamed fields in the configuration and the old version didn't understand them...

Since then, I have always updated all core plugins together in lockstep. Based on the name and description, that sounds like what Jenkins Essentials would do too. If so, that's a good sign.

Simpler, more reliable administration is exactly what Jenkins needs and you seem to have a credible way of achieving it, so I'm excited to see the results.
