As a long-time laptop Linux user, I'd say that "suspend to RAM" is adequate lately, and booting from scratch is paradoxically often faster than restoring from sleep, even on an NVMe.
Since Windows 8 as well, you're pretty much doing something wrong if it takes more than a few seconds to cold boot whenever you actually are going to use the PC.
Nothing saves more energy than turning it all the way off, this used to be a no-brainer. Sure makes laptop batteries last years longer.
Plus the failure to perfect partially-powered states over the decades doesn't have to have an impact.
