At some point it's got to be easier to get it over with and just do the damn dishes.

I've been trying to get my SO to agree to getting rid of all the plates and cups except for what we use hasn't worked yet I should just go solo and take your recommendation it's a good recommendation
I'm in the same situation - we have a lot of dishes in our house and my partner can manage with multiple dishes... so I have my chosen dishes and then we have a pool of dishes for them to use - they've actually struggled with this same issue (they're not diagnosed but might be ADHD) so while they use a rotation of plates and bowls they have adopted "the chosen coffee mug" to keep from getting overwhelmed by piles of mugs on random surfaces in their office.
My wife and I moved recently. We don't have a dishwasher at the moment so we chose to have 4 sets of dishes unpacked total so we can make sure to keep up on dishes. 2 meals each uses all the dishes, so we're forced to clean them daily.
