Also anyone who plays factorio and has a brain with more wrinkles than mine, is it actually smarter to use production modules in everything possible and just have way more assembly machines to make up for the slow down?

Depends what you're optimizing for. Power usage will rise very quickly. I'd also say modules in beacons are more important than specific machines. Also using things like em plants or foundries is important. Nothing like using eight machines to replace all 40 green circuit producers I had.
Mostly just a in general sort of thing, like a base default before you start thinking about a specific reason to go with speed or whatever. As of now my default is just two production modules 1s and 2 speed 1s but I'm also not doing a 1 million space research an hour mega base.
Honestly even then, stack productivity in the machines and speed in beacons. You don't need as many beacons as you used to. This is assuming you have the spare circuits which honestly early on is the most limiting factor.
I'll have to look into beacons, I know I barely used them bc they were so annoying to build around but I keep finding things changed that I would know about if I read patch notes like that the filter inserters are gone and that's just a functionality on all of them now.
They changed it so smaller amounts have way more benefits. Realistically they're good to incorporate into your designs. I wouldnt think of any of this stuff before you have working bots anyway.
