That's it. Would you recommended any other repository?

There are general purpose repos and specific app repos. Those for specific apps might allow you to download apps not found elsewhere or they might just get you the update a little faster.

I have the repos for Collabora and Newpipe enabled on mine for those reasons.

You might also look at Obtanium if you're looking to keep specific apps updated.

Is there a real delay on updates? I mean, I'm in an almost 4 year phone with android 10, can't say I run behind the latest stuff

It depends on the app publisher. The official F-Droid repo has Newpipe version 25.2, which was added August 10, 2023. The Newpipe upstream repo has version 26.1, added December 27, 2023.
