What streaming service do I need to add?

Depends on what you want, but HBO Max has a good assortment of stuff across a wide range of genres. Good TV shows, good documentaries, good movies, etc.
I believe you can still redeem a 4 month free trial of Apple TV on the Target Circle app, and if you have an Apple Family account, each member of your family can extend everyone for another 4 months each time it runs out. Same goes for the free 6 months of Apple Arcade.
None.
Just subscribe as needed. Unless you're watching each streaming platform regularly throughout the month, it's really a waste a money to have a bunch of services at once.

HBO Max has the strongest content library of all streaming services IMO
If you're a horror movie fan AMC+ is an under-the-radar option too that you can get really cheap with their sales.

I hardly watch anything to be honest. Kinda am interested in Peacemaker. My wife pays for Hulu and watches it daily. Me I'm an occasional at best streamer.

then the answer is none. you should be asking which streaming service you need to cancel.
basically nobody does what you're describing so this isn't really useful advise. people subscribe so they have access to a library of content. even if they may not use it all the time, the access is the goal. the ability to decide one night "hey lets watch a thing" and maybe they'll go and find a thing on a service. managing your subscriptions in the way you describe is pretty ludicrous for most people.
At this point, the major streaming services are Netflix, Prime, Disney+, and HBOMax, and I think anyone with at least two of those will have enough entertainment to last them the rest of their lives.
But as far as sheer amount of quality content, it's hard to beat HBOMax, so that's definitely your next stop. Apple TV+ has some good stuff, but there's just not that much of it.

HBO kicks the living shit out of all the other choices combined. I'm not even exaggerating. Apple has some good shows, but they're few and far between at this point. Get a free month sub and watch all they have and then do it again in a year.
Honestly, HBO Max has a lot of content with some great legacy content and some hit and miss modern content with more hits than misses. Apple+ has a small library but it is pretty curated and there's a lot of interesting content, and it's pretty cheap compared to everyone else. It's hard to recommend The Cock. It has a few good shows, like The Office, but I don't watch it much. I probably will let it lapse when my sub comes up honestly.
Honestly, I think you're more than covered already. Every now and then sometime will drop on HBO that might be worthwhile and you can do a temporary sub.
I feel like you're probably good with what you got. Sign up for HBO once in a while, catch up on Succession and CYE and then cancel. I don't think HBO has enough good quality new consitent content to stay subbed all year round...though TBF, most of them don't.
I like Apple TV+ content a lot, and if you already use Apple Music and iCloud, then it's a good deal to just take the 15 Euro Apple One sub and get it, but HBO Max is the clear winner here. The HBO content alone is worth it, and the added Max Originals as well as legacy content is just great. It's a good deal.
HBO Max is by far the greatest streaming service, fucking incredible. Worth having to use a VPN to access it.
of those, HBO Max, great back catalog, good new movies. I think HBO Max is probably the best streaming service in general, I think NEtflix is a given, but HBO Max is right there with it.
AppleTV is good for their new shows, but you can sub for a month and then be done with it.

Yeah like said, depends on what you want to watch. But generally these days I find HBO Max to be the best service out there if you really feel like you need another one.
HBO has massive amounts of quality content. It's a no brainer. That being said - I would sub to Apple+ for at least a month or two to watch their stuff. They have really great shows-but not a massive amount. You could sub a month or two a year and watch them all.
We currently have:
Youtube Premium w/ YT Music for my whole family
Disney+
Hulu w/ Ads (for my wifes shows)
