The separated home requires you being wise on deciding the root size. If you're out of space, don't split home and root. If you have plenty of space don't be miserly about the space to give your root, not least than 40-60 GB or you'll regret someday The rest of your free space could be your home partition

I might consider having an external drive instead, but I had a somewhat bad experience with them before.

Look up 3-2-1 backups if you actually have data you care about.

Why would you need var in a separate partition? It's not like a folder that can coexist with different distros.

"To prevent logs eating the system space" is my guess, with no ability to provide a scenario under which that can happen. Splitting makes running out of space MORE likely, not less.
