Between uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, ClearURLs, Decentraleyes, and Privacy Possum, I'm having a hard time deciding which ones I actually need and which ones I don't. Do they actually do different things, or are they largely the same?

This. Keep also in mind that Firefox already comes with an integrated anti-tracker: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop. So with that + uBlock Origin, you shouldn't need anything else.
