Comment:

 While it may be seen as overkill, the added overhead of having abundant
 theme hooks is minimal. Most of my work with clients who use WordPress
 revolves around premium themes with dozens of hooks (okay, core WordPress
 probably doesn't need dozens), adding in all sorts of content into all
 sorts of contexts.

 And the beauty of it is... This really is the simplest way of customizing
 a site. No messing with child themes, the core theme can be updated
 without overwriting anything, and all customizations are self-contained as
 a site plugin.

 Still, having access to at least the major containers of the site (body,
 header, footer, article, sidebar) -- before & after -- opens up a world of
 customization possibilities that are both easy & mostly futureproof.
