...Parallax looks so nice and has so many incompatibilities soft and hard (such as planet packs that you may have looking lifeless/barren in comparison because you blew your fucking neurons out with Parallax, or being incompatible with Principia or other mods outright) that it's better to just "buyer beware" it's recommendation and discourage you from adding it right away
GAMEPLAY: As for gameplay mods? 1.12 (latest) is my assumption for what you're playing on...and that essentially has everything you might genuinely WANT from mods baked into the game.
The ability to "fix" or edit craft mid-flight? (forgot solar panels, someone flipped over and can't get out of their craft, but if you could destroy a radial tank they could roll the hatch free) was KIS/KAS's domain but then they added it in 1.11 and many mods added support for the vanilla system.
Transfer window planning via phase angles? 1.12 added a tool to the game. Alarm clocks/timers? 1.12 added that to the game.
See what I mean?
The only thing that I would recommend that's genuinely still useful is Kerbal Engineer Redux specifically for it's "atmosphere" slider in the VAB. It lets you see how much surface gravity you'll feel as you ascend up from a planet, which is useful for planning upper stages...but I messed up less when I overbuilt everything before I used it years ago honestly lmao, trying to do things "optimally" scales hours of your life costed by O(2^). Unless that's your kink then definitely get Kerbal Engineer Redux and try to optimize your launch and descent stages to use no more than 1.2 launching and 1.2-1.5 TWR landing "cause that's all they needed IRL" and get ready to learn ~~chinese~~ constant velocity descents buddy.
Personally, play through Career a couple times over the next while (you know as you come and go from the game over time) and have fun in the vanilla game. THEN, you're gonna start to feel bored or a "lack" of something somewhere, or get inspiration from...
