Mostly I use adb to uninstall everything that I don't want but I admit I mostly tell that on a case-by-case basis looking at the package name. Sometimes I look up what the package does; most of the time I don't bother. It's not difficult to debloat; there's no risk at all since every package you remove can easily be re-installed if it causes problems by being gone. Sometimes I miss bloatware though, especially hidden bloat, but luckily my Muntashirakon App Manager tells me with a tag for apps that are bloatware.
