I thought it would be interesting to see the responses. Are you playing Flashpoint vanilla, with no mods; or did you mod it out of the gate?
Are you modding with Flashpoint?

Vanilla, No Mods, here. Not even JSON tweaks.
The first reports about updates and mods scared me off. Then I watched someone playing RogueTech and decided that the mods being created just didn't add enough to the game that I was interested in.
[EDIT: ratings are interesting...hehehehe]

I only added the mission control mod the moment it was updated.
Otherwise my normal mods are still outdated so I have to do without them

BTML mods are currently broken until BTML updates for Flashpoint. I've got a few JSON mods that give me some different starting mechs, change up the way a few mechanics work, but other than that I'm mostly waiting for the BTML update so I can get my good stuff working again.
It is updated:

Well there is this one loadout for a custom Centurion that doesn’t seem to be right...
I'm always amazed at how much breadth the player base has in taste and preference from one extreme to the next and in between in every aspect of play preference.
30 years and it still fascinates me.

I’m focused on getting bare-minimum mods working. I had to do a clean uninstall after the 1.3 patch & Flashpoint, so all my savegames are gone and I’m forced to start over. Don’t know if I want to do career mode, though.
I’ve done JSON edits for pilot pay & appearance of Ronin/Backer MechWarriors, as well as replacing a few with my own custom MechWarriors (though I’ve found other JSONs with pilot name tags, and their name appears as a tag now, too). I’m currently testing other mods, but the one I’ve definitely gotten to work is the BTMLModLines to differentiate LOS & Indirect Fire lines. Commander Portraits works, or so I’m told, but I haven’t tested it. I really, REALLY want ‘Hangar if the Dispossessed’ to work!

I am currently running without mods. After this campaign I will likely do some JSON tweaks.
Prior to 1.3 I used the Capellan emblem mod and JK's variants. Nowt game breaking and all canon. Might load them up again
Just JSON tweaks here.
+50 Visual and Sensor ranges
+20 to Offensive Moral Push costs
+10 to Deffensive Morale Push costs
A few audio delay changes.
Most of my needs these days are accounted for with the inbuilt options.
The two things I miss without coded mods are the Panic mod (purely for the fun factor) and the Firing Line Improvements one (kinda colour blind and the red is hard going for me).

I don't mod games that are being actively worked on because constantly needing to redo things and fix broken stuff whenever the game updates just seems like a huge annoyance, and also I don't want to get mixed up on what's vanilla and what's modded when giving feedback.
Yeah, I miss the panic and ejection mod. =( It's just such a natural fit I'm surprised the 1.3 patch didn't include it as an option.
I bought the season pass. I have not even downloaded Flashpoint or the 1.3 update yet. I will do so when the mods I am using are either working with the new update, or obsoleted by the authors.
I played the game at release with no mods. As others stated, I just found it too easy. The mods I use make the game more challenging. So I will wait.

I have a small but growing collection of JSON tweaks that I do... none of which add any kind of equipment, so they are entirely safe to apply without risk of breaking my saves.
Adjusting movement speed back to 30 meters per TT move, giving the AI a normal crit chance, making the hex grid smaller, things like that.
