I did see one response to your menu question, although I realize you are in need of more info. I am not a Backdrop programmer, but I know this forum is relatively new. I have received thoughtful comments to my questions on the forum after a few days.

I spent the entire summer getting a Drupal 8 site up and running, just to have it completely broken by an upgrade. By and large the other choices have various good possibilities, but almost always have commercial doors to the high-end modules.
The Backdrop approach matches my philosophical view, and I very much hope it is successful.

It is also available (I'm 90% sure) in the tokens for the content type's display settings, so you could also potentially update the default "Author/date format" from this:

There is a port of the Display Suite module that I started a while back, but I have not made a full release of it yet because I did not have an upgrade path for it. If you could check it out and let...
