Yeah, I have a few as well. A lot of those can be hidden without being killed if you long-press them and click the gear. Others I actually like to have so I can see the status, e.g. I want to know if my VPN disconnects.

The key will disappear from the status bar if it disconnects, you don't need the app icon too.

It doesn't have to. For example ProtonVPN stays active even if it disconnects. There's still the VPN symbol, but the notification will tell you it's trying to reconnect.
