Why separate /home at all. Trying to guess how much space to allocate to what partition is archace and a left over from 15 years ago. Use a separate partition large enough (plus room for growth) for your data, one for boot and the rest for /. No more guessing as to how much space you need for home.
We can argue until we're blue in the face but I don't think you really mean this......
If I then do a fresh install (I always do) then I am supposed to lose my bookmarks, documents in the doc file, my Mail directory etc etc.
