i think it's really important to remember the inhuman nature of this problem. If you have a fitness regime and you miss one day, oh well, just keep going. If you are Satoshi Nakamoto and doing an entire huge project under a pseudonym, you only have to make *one* slight mistake to undo *years* of work at privacy. Just ask Ross Ullbricht about this (and he's far from the only one). So yes, reduce your digital footprint, but mostly that's not with a goal of any kind of anonymity, because for most people most of the time that's not an attainable goal. It's mostly because it's better for your general security.
