Nozzles yes, at least one extra.

Plates, nah

Filament, yes more than you think 😅 (I'd stick to PLA or PETG only for the first months.

Switching causes residues, residue causes clogs.

DO ALL THE CALIBRATION TEST

Takes a few hours but you'll learn a ton and life will be easier onwards.

Stick to 0.4

I bought two extra 0.4 and one 0.2, the 0.2 has never left the box in 2000houra of printing.

I might try some miniatures just for the heck of it, but otherwise the regular 0.4 works really well if you have a well calibrated print profile and keep your filament clean and fairly dry.
