I suspect I am an average/typical user.

Everybody thinks that.  What's your sample size?

I like and use Kerpondile's Queue Contents Editor. So I will post my two cents worth:

In regard to the Queue playlist. I find it to be useful too.

As for the Stop after queue feature. I always keep the Stop after queue component activated/selected. I have never needed a toggle or visual indicator to let me know the component's current state. I can't speak for others obviously, but I suspect I am an average/typical user.

As for "keep queue", If I remember there is a component for that but having that built into an editor sounds like a  positive.

try
{
	playlist_loader::g_save_playlist(playlist_path, handles, fb2k::noAbort);
}
catch (...) {}

		void restore_playlist()
		{
			if (!is_file(playlist_path)) return;

			pfc::string_list_impl list;
			list.add_item(playlist_path);
			static constexpr uint32_t flags = playlist_incoming_item_filter_v2::op_flag_no_filter | playlist_incoming_item_filter_v2::op_flag_delay_ui;
			auto ptr = process_locations_notify::create([](metadb_handle_list_cref handles)
				{
					PlaybackQueueCallback::Scope scope;
					auto plman = playlist_manager::get();
					QueueList::add_handles_to_queue(plman, handles);
				});

			playlist_incoming_item_filter_v2::get()->process_locations_async(list, flags, nullptr, nullptr, nullptr, ptr);
		}

void QueueList::add_handles_to_queue(const playlist_manager::ptr& plman, metadb_handle_list_cref handles)
{
	const size_t playlistIndex = plman->get_active_playlist();

	for (auto&& handle : handles)
	{
		size_t playlistItemIndex{};
		if (plman->activeplaylist_find_item(handle, playlistItemIndex))
		{
			plman->queue_add_item_playlist(playlistIndex, playlistItemIndex);
		}
		else
		{
			plman->queue_add_item(handle);
		}
	}
}

...
foobar2000 menu > Playback > Flush playback > queue
　　　　↑ Is this also an option in Queue Editor?

I would say that the equivalent would be to select and remove all tracks in the component list.
A context menu 'Remove all' might be added in next releases...
