Looks pretty normal. It's twentysomething years since I bothered
with separate /var/and /tmp on a desktop. Currently I've been
using ~30GB for a root filesystem on a 500GB disk, and they sit at
35-70% in use.

What are the specs of the machine this is running on?
How fast, how much memory? Pasting the top dozen lines
or so of top, when the machine is busy, could be useful.
Or when it's exhibiting its "problem".

I don't know what we're supposed to gather from this list, as you've
described no problem.

What do you mean by optimize? I'm guessing from the partition numbers
that this disk is MBR and has an "extended" partition on it. I've not
used those either for two decades. But there's probably no reason
worry about it until you're setting up its replacement one day.

Your kernel is not quite up to date:

$ uname -a
Linux axis 4.19.0-14-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.171-2 (2021-01-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ 

Cheers,
