I tend to build the auto-smelter with just one furnace, and hoppers leading into and out of that furnace. For most cases, that is enough. I don't often have the need for smelting more than 5-6 stacks of anything, so this setup works for those cases.

No need for a noisy chicken farm when you can either grow carrots or kelp to have a steady food supply.

Related to storage I just use classic mode, so that I can control where stuff go. I like my order, but don't need to use loads of resources for a single-item-in-chest storage system. If I could make a reliable system where I could filter multiple items into the same chest, I would consider doing that.

In addition to those examples, I've also dabbled a little with various hidden doors, and more importantly hidden key systems.
