I would focus on the things that cause problems (if there are any), and solve those. Just ignore everything else.
The only problem you mention is storage, and as you mention it's pretty easy to solve by just buying more. You could also refinance and move the big (not-so-important) files onto cheap hard drives or other "cold storage" to free up space on your devices.
As to "read it later" lists and such; I would give up. It sounds a bit perfectionistic to want to consume it all and miss/loose nothing. Don't ask the impossible of yourself to go through all of it, at least half of it is outdated or not relevant anymore, I'm sure there are better ways to spend your time. Interesting and important things will resurface.
Generally my attitude is: If it doesn't impact me negatively, I don't care. I see it as organized chaos; minimizing time spend on organizing while maximizing utility. Storage is cheap and search is pretty powerful these days.
Those tools are there for you, not the other way around. Use the ones that help you or bring you joy, ignore (or delete) the rest.
