I'm not sure this is as relevant anymore since #2401035: items_per_page in node.settings is no longer used → . There is no longer an option for "Number of posts on front page" and the current help text is just "Specify a relative URL to display as the front page."
I can't think of any site I've ever worked on that has used the promoted to front page feature, and it seems it's falling out of favour. There are some related issues below:
#29338: Hide Promoted/Sticky fields by default in Form display →
📌 "Promoted to front page" for new content types should default to Un-Checked Needs work
#2514794: Frontpage view is confusing when only one node is promoted to the default front page →
#2029199: Rename the 'Frontpage' view to 'Latest content' or 'Featured content'. →I think instead of adjusting help text on the site information settings page we could shift focus on the welcome to Drupal block you get on the default front page instead. Setting to PMNMI in case anyone has different ideas.
