Are moisture sensors any good? I always read about how useless they are, but maybe that’s just a certain type? What would you recommend?

Moisture sensors that measure conductivity are pretty useless unless frequently recalibrated but time domain reflectometry sensors are much better and more accurate.

I use the VH400 from Vegetronix: https://www.vegetronix.com/Products/VH400/

Yes, conductivity is pretty useless over time.
