But I suppose this would just come down to nitpicking and personal preference in workflows. This has only come to mind because I’ve been going through the learning flow for modelling and the working with modifiers course left the impression that working that way would be better practice in modelling.
I was mainly just referring to the part you were making that sunburst circle, where instead of duplicating and rotating the slice it several times, you could use the array modifier with an empty object offset to fill up that circle faster
