Starlight is my go to hub I do what is required with Sanctuary and try and move on to greener pastures. Abernathy is really designed to build at cause you can go out AND up. Same with Starlight. That's where I always kill myself. Not being able to get into Starlight. Also Oberland for some weird reason.
Don't do this because the Shared resources don't seem to work like they should right now. You need to make sure a settlement is self sufficient and can handle not only the people but plot needs by itself or you will be plagued by problems this goes for industrial needs too. I promise. I have been trying to build producing vs consuming settlement networks or districts of these for 2 playthroughs with no luck. They need to be able to run by themselves. Especially if the game bugs and drops one off the caravan network. As for city leaders unless you are running a city leaders add on it really doesn't matter. In ad hoc settlements just a desk to manage stuff and you as leader. Half the time my leader is messed up anyway.
If you use the ones that have "leader traits", you CAN, but since they're mostly just percentage modifiers it might not be worth it on smaller settlements compared to having one more person working on a farm or whatever.
None that I've seen, but I haven't checked every single plot in every single Addon Pack, and that's something you can set on a per-plot basis.
I've seen you mention this a few times; the resource sharing seems to work 100% fine for me? Should I add that to the list of "things I thought were working fine but are actually bugged on my end"?
There is only one part in the SS2 quest line that will make you use a city leader and a plan.
All I am saying is be very leery of taking away needed production from a settlement in hopes another will correctly pick it up. I am not the only one that has seen this be a reality for them and a million things could factor it. All I am saying is be mindful of doing it and mileage may vary in every case. As in my words I didn't say it doesn't work I said is seems not to be working as in tended in all situations. Again when it comes to mods a million things could make things not work as intended and there will never be a actual oh it this or that's mods fault. and honestly even when it is a specific mods fault getting that info is not always easy.
And honestly this is an issue that has plagued my games since well before SS. Even in base game playthroughs with vanilla supply lines sharing accurately of food and water between settlements can be funky. The game has always expected you to make sure each settlement was self sufficient to the best of it ability.
Keep in mind that in the vanilla game there are losses incurred when sharing between settlements, IIRC the base is something like 70% efficiency. Not sure if the SS2 caravan system carries that forward, but I suspect it does. So for every 100 crops your exporting, you are only importing 70. Losses to raiders, spoilage... ect. The IDEK mod have a good description of this:

I am aware of spoilage and all that. I use IDEK so I have a good grasp of how my spoilage works. I actually read my IDEK station reports.Keep in mind that in the vanilla game there are losses incurred when sharing between settlements, IIRC the base is something like 70% efficiency.

Sim Settlements - IDEK's Logistics Station
Designed to simplify general logistical concerns, this mod adds an Industrial plot that automates the creation of supply lines, improves inter-settlement resource sharing and more.
I have city plans at all 3 with many added plots of mine own, Sanctuary has been running fine with 26 people, 17 at Abernathy and 12 at RR. I am just shy of level 100 and I haven't even had lag until I built that bench AND finished Automatron. Before I finished I could do anything with it fine. Then I talk to Jezebel and all went to shit if I get near it. I could if needed take any one of my settlements off the network and they would be self sufficient as @Slb1 mentioned. And I can do anything in the TOD still with no lag as long as I don't get within say 50 steps of the bench. Just outside of selection from a distance range in Workshop mode.My $.02 to the good suggestions above from a slightly different perspective. I micromanage everything, usually manually build my settlements and rarely use city plans. In my current game 3, Sanctuary, Red Rocket and Abernathy have 12 -14 settlers - all with jobs, 1x1 residential plots and some with recreational plots; a fully enclosing wall; and numerous turrets, generators, lights etc. I do encounter infrequent CTDs in the ToD, but reloading the immediate save solves the problem. Like @dinelen_darkstar, I also make all my settlements self-sufficient.
While playing the early SS1/Conqueror, frequently I was not able to pass a certain point in the ToD either by fast travel or walking no matter how many saves I tried - it was a "show stopper." By comparison, the current SS2 ToD situation is "great."
Did you achieve 26 people at Sanctuary using the Communication plot? And, if so, are the Communication plots generally working well?
