content types vs. paragraphes types + taxonomy I have quite a complex content structure and found the paragraphs module (in combination with taxonomies) can be very powerful for creating complex compound fields and dynamically reusing existing content types. 

Example: 1 content type "equipment" tagged with a term from a taxonomy "mobility devices" (terms: car, aircraft, bike...) and with different fields of paragraphs types representing the different attributes for each of the devices. This way I'd only use the car_paragraphs_field if the equipment is tagged as a car and leave the other paragraphs fields blank. This in contrast of having multiple different content types "car", "bike"... 

I'm wondering whether this a reasonable approach in terms of later displaying data in views, storing data to the DB, internal Drupal complexity/load when having let's say 100 different paragraphs types and only using 1 for each new content (i.e. leaving many paragraphs types fields blank), instead of having one separate content type for each.
Personally I don't think this is a good use case for paragraphs. I don't see any benefit of having only a single content (node) type, you are just moving comeplexity from nodes to paragraphs.

I think the key here is to carefully plan and reuse fields across entities. If your car equipment and your plane equipment both have a weight attribute, reuse the same field (or to be more precise: reuse the field storage), so e.g. you can use it to as filter in a shared view for both equipment types.
