My current pedal chain has 30 pedals in it and they all get used at some point - it's been a while since I switched them all on at once though
Part of the issue is that playing instrumental music, it is too easy to end up sounding like mogwai wannabes as soon as the delay is on and the tremelo picking starts...
I probably have another 9 or 10 not on it. Most I made myself (from pcbs or kits). I occasionally switch them in and out for different flavours. But, to be honest, they are just sitting in a cupboard unused most of the time.
If I'm absolutely honest, I could strip it down from those 9 to 5 without massive loss. 2 x drives, one delay, one tremolo, one reverb.
On it I have
Polytune.
ThorpyFX Gunshot
ThorpyFX Muffroom Cloud
EqD humnigbird them
Walrus ARP delay.
Even down to those all I really use is a bit of slapback, Reverb from the amp.
4 on a pedal train nano plus.
Tuner, P45, dual drive and Keeley Caverns.
I need more though, I have a Helix but tend to favour pedals, so may go back to a PT junior at some point.
Would like a Chorus, flint, tap delay, mini wah, auto filter, deco.
Like @digitalscream I've got a really basic setup in helix, but also have a small valve amp and board set up.
Tuner - something wobbly (phase/flange/wah depending on mood) > eqd palisades > 2 delays (shortlist clean repeats & longer mushy ones) by way of dd20 (el cap in the post though!!)
I had a mobius and timeline for quite a while, with delays and mods bespoke for each song on our set. But the nuances between them were so small, and in a loud live mix it all just sounded like "some delay" and "some wobble".
Less is more.
I also like using a lot of effects at once, as I tend to go for atmospheric tones rather than conventional sounds.
My current pedalboard goes:
Korg Pitchblack tuner
DIY Janglebox clone
DIY Monolith Oracle fuzz clone (modified)
DIY Clay Jones Overdrive clone
DIY Klone
Ibanez PT-9
Boss CE-3 (and stereo from this point)
Line 6 Echo Park
Digitech Hardwire DL-8
Digitech Hardwire RV-7
Zoom MS70CDR
This is the board that I use for jamming with a friend. When I was playing in a previous band, I also used an Ernie Ball volume pedal, subbed the PT-9 for a Boss BF-2 and used DIY clones of a Liquid Sunhine Mk II, a Catalinbread DLS Mk II and a Big Muff instead of the dirt currently used.
I said maybe.....
FULLTONE Octafuzz, polytune, xotic sp, MXR phase 90, OCD, TS mini, crybaby mini, moog clusterflux, ehx deluxe memory man TT.

i use them all & even have doubles of things i really like & can pick up cheaply (behringers & joyos on ebay for £15 etc) so i can use the same effect twice in a chain. early & late or split.
my guitar is my interface & my pedal board is a my synth. more oscillators, more filters, more modulation always!
I'm tempted to add my list of pedals because it amuses me, and because I crave validation from fellow pedal owners
So the current set up is, in order:
Vox - Tonelab ST
Boss - Loop Station
EQD - Data Corrupter
Parasit Studios (kit, built by me) - Into The Unknown
Line 6 - Liqua Flange
Recovery Pedals - Cutting Room Floor
Korg - Miku (connected to a feedback looper)
Subdecay - Vitruvian Mod
EHX - Pitch Fork
Digitech - Obscura
Line 6 - DM4
EQD - Spatial Delivery
EQD - Arpanoid
smallsound/bigsound - Team Awesome Fuzz Machine
Parasit Studios (kit, built by Juansolo) - Arcadiator
Dwarfcraft - Grazer
Montreal Assembly - Count To 5 (#1)
Dr Scientist - BitQuest (#1)
EQD - Afterneath
Montreal Assembly - Count To 5 (#2)
Dr Scientist - BitQuest (#2)
Alexander Pedals - Syntax Error
EQD - Rainbow Machine
Red Panda - Particle
Mr Black - Gilamondo
Catalinbread - CSIDMAN
Digitech - The Weapon
drolo - Stamme[n]
Old Blood Noise Endeavours - Procession
Line 6 - Otto Filter
The only other pedals I have are a Fuzzdog Ampeg Scrambler kit in a Klon-style box, an EHX Pocket Metal Muff, a Boss Vol pedal, a modded Behringer FX600 and a Boss RC-50 (that I've lent to a mate). I also have an Electro Faustus Drone Machine which is currently plugged into a separate input on my mixer.
A-wah in a Manger maybe.
