Do you use your thumb or two fingers to operate joysticks? Any rationale for the choice?

I use my thumbs and sometimes I switch to two fingers. But two fingers IMO are better for FPV drone controllers which are quite different and I'm beginning to study them.

Given that the controllers often have switches and dials on the shoulder of the controller (and even sometimes buttons on the back), thumbs on sticks is most common so that the fingers can comfortably reach those other controls.

I did a flight today and tried both ways, for me it seems that two fingers are better when I want to turn very slowly, it feels to hold more precise movement and results in smoother video.

My drone has FPV (First Person View) mode, I tried it and the video is very shaky as gimbal is not stabilized in FPV but I can do some fun videos with angled paths :)

Following earlier suggestion I finally realized that gimbal stabilization is so good on the DJI Mini SE that I could take a longer exposure with the drone camera so I ordered an ND32 filter from Amazon to check it out. It won't give me very long shots but maybe some blur when flying fast.

Has anyone used ND filters on a drone camera?

Does a frame from a video have EXIF?

You really need them for filming otherwise fast shutter speed can make video shots look choppy

Nope


Read entire threat with interest but no EXIF stopped me in my tracks. How are the images “legal” for DPC then?

Still relevant because you can extract a frame from the video to create a still image.
