Never had a problem with a decent size box and leaving adequate length
tails. Some seem to think cable costs a fortune, so try and save every
inch.

I would like to suggest - for your views!

The circuit cables attached to a terminal block that is a part of the
back box. The switch or socket would be connected to that block with a
fly lead that would be an integral part of that switch / socket with a
Wago type connector.

Any sympathy for this idea?

Since connections are always the weak point in any circuit, adding more
than needed is nonsense.
