Between uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, ClearURLs, Decentraleyes, and Privacy Possum, I'm having a hard time deciding which ones I actually need and which ones I don't. Do they actually do different things, or are they largely the same?

Ublock Origin is enough as blocker (It's so complete in terms of filters. also it's recommended by Mozilla, and it's very light). Also Decentraleyes for some third-party contents. Other blockers do the same (they usually use the same blocking lists, too). I only have these two, along with setting Firefox tracking protection to Strict. I guess it's enough. (Though, you can see UBO wiki to have more advanced blockings.)

Well all this things will not protect from something like creepjs fingerprinting

I don't know what can prevent you from that 🤔 Maybe totally disabling JS?

Clear urls is also a good one to have as sites like amazon has tracking data in the url
