On our latest single I use three delays at once for the clean parts - reverse delay, digital delay, and the Adriatic delay on the Line 6 Helix to do the oscillation effect in the first half of the song.
The truth is that 90% of the time, I just need reverse+digital delay. I'm using a lot of tape delay sounds recently too though, when we're songwriting. That's pretty much what it's all about for me at the moment - having as many options as I can have for songwriting.
Again, I don't have all of these pedals on a single board at the same time. Right now I just pick and choose.
I'm speccing out one or two boards right now. Struggling to figure out what I want on there.
I think I need to go back to tap dancing for a bit. So I can start to experiment with pedals a bit more. The experimentation has been missing for a while now.
I don't do this with delays but wah, pitch (HOG/POG/Whammy), RingMod, Butler Tube Driver and couple of other things sit outside the Helix, allowing the Helix to do what it does best.

And the TC Sub n Up but the M9 can't do that so that doesn't count.
I still have a wah pedal.
Quite fancy a new fuzz...
A separate comp would be handy as well.....
So here is one variation. It would be very capable and give me plenty of stacking options. The ES5 also allows me to re-arrange the gain effects too, which is something the Helix cannot do.
However it's almost 4kg heavier than the Helix, and that is without cables and the Zuma underneath the board!!
Also I don't have a bag for my PT3

Seriously though, there IS something special about the Big Sky. My fave reverb ever in any format.
Also, the Echosystem is excellent and the SDD setting on the Boss DD500 is the closest yet to the real thing.
Like I said, I'm quite happy to use lots of pedals at home, just not out and about!
