I was taught that annotation is a non-simple polygon, because there are points for stuff like text anchors, rules, the polygon for the extent of the label, and more, stored in each record. So, I think you need some other way to do this.

So this is an ArcPro limitation. Do you have access to ArcMap? Because you can add lots of filetypes to ArcCatalog's display in ArcMap, including zips and PDFs. I use 2 windows for cleanup and conversion: ArcCatalog and Windows. But it sounds like you have data and map output in the same folder. This "project" orientation makes cleanup much harder.

Also, look into adding a topology with the rule(s) Country must be covered by regions and possibly Regions must not have gaps and Regions must not overlap. This will make editing and aligning easier and cleaner in the future.

Network data storage is often organizational policy, for many reasons, particularly in federal government. At my site, local drives are never backed up because they are only used for private data (PII) like the resumes I have to read and hold off network until a job is filled, or editing non-GIS files during scheduled network outages. We all sign an agreement to abide by this policy when we get network access. Then there is the giant bus factor of only one person knowing where the latest copy of the data is. Or worse, they don't log on to the network for updates often enough and their computer is quarantined so no one can get to that data for days or weeks and it could get destroyed in a re-image. So, if you can and must use local storage, back up more than once a day and in a consistent manner. But think about the problem of being locked out when you need to replace the network copy with the local copy. Even a non-editor can lock a file geodatabase or schema lock an SDE feature. In my very security-oriented, cover your colleagues' tasks on short notice environment, we tolerate slowness of the network for most editing. It is simpler. Big edits and topology fixes and geoprocessing-heavy work, not so much. Then we work at least partly locally, backing up regularly to the network. I recommend not using the default file geodatabase in ArcMap for important work because it is stored in your profile (under Documents). Set up a scratch database or your editing database in a local folder that other people who log in to your system can see. Of course, the one time I did not do this, I had to quarantine for 2 weeks and no one could get to one of my projects in my default geodatabase.

It is not so clean; it often won't work well with longer fields (misses many matches). It also randomly pdoes not work perfectly even with shorter fields, even after trying everything down to re-creating fields and copying the data over so it has to match (plus many other debugging tricks). But most of the time, it works fine. Just watch the matched records counts to be sure.

Can you populate a field with mile/kilometer distance where roads intersect? This is what we did at a DoT I worked at for rural highways, but we already had mile markers. We created false addresses by multiplying the mile post by 10K or 1K (don't remember). As long as you are consistent, a geocoder should be able to handle false addresses.

Those are historical archive files. They are a copy of the data with some extra archival fields. Some of the features must have archiving set to on. I believe if you turn off versioning and archiving in the correct order before deleting files, they won't appear. But that is not trivial nor necessary. I usually keep for a few weeks, as data backups, then delete. If your organization is not using the archiving feature, it could be turned off and you won't see these H files again.

You can't edit or modify the second side (joined table) fields. If you added a new field, it is probably now in the first table. Make sure you are using the correct field as there are often many duplicate names in a join. Try exporting the join to a new table before adding the new field if you get really stuck.

I've never seen new records create annotation automatically (10.6, SQL Server). Deleting and changing fields does automatically affect annotation. Select the new records and right click on the layer/Select. There is an option Annotate Selected Features. You may have to be in edit for this to work. I don't use feature-linked annotation much anymore because of issues and my workflows.

You may want to look into the SDSFIE federal standards and the Esri Utility models (I don't know what these are called now). SDSFIE has utility schemas and some standard domains.

First, MGRS is simply an abstraction based on UTM. It is a shorthand display system for UTM meters. If I need MGRS grids, I calculate them from the meters using Python/Field Calculate. You can also use the Convert Coordinate Notation tool. Second, MGRS grids are not truly numeric, since they can and do start with a meaningful 0 and they must have a zone and 100K grid square. I guess if they are closely spaced, you don't have to display the grid square.

This sounds like a simple definition query on the standalone table, then a join back to the feature class on your media_table_id field and a field calculation to do the population.

Have you looked at Increase Polygon Area tool? It has minimum area as one parameter, though it still uses a linear distance as another parameter. I don't know if it accepts negative buffers. If you can get a script to calculate your value based on your shape, so you can create a linear distance, store it in a field and Buffer by field value.

We have this problem sometimes with big exports (large high resolution), but it seems to be limited to SDE rasters (usually hillshades). Our file based imagery does not have this issue, and SDE-based vector layers sometimes also do not draw fully. Clearly, a network hiccup. Another common possibility is that your PDFs are not rendering everything ArcMap exported; if you zoom in and wait, can you see what you are missing? Have you tried printed the affected pages?
