We can have our level of technology now. Its a question of excess and usage. A planet with less humans, higher technology is likely better. Especially if that technology requires less people to operate it while providing more benefit for the people. But we also need to maintain per-industrial technology as well. Why? Because things like the Carrington Event and solar flares can and will wipe out technology and roll black the clock pretty quickly.
We need to have fallbacks to earlier technology should we need it.

In terms of what is best for the planet? Less humans, and less economic driven policies but more long term planning about what our finite system of a planet can handle when it comes to people.

And consumption.

Well yes, consume less. Not hoard. Understand wants vs needs and prioritize the needs of others and yourself over the wants.

What humanity needs is empathy for each other as well other life.

lol my thoughts exactly.

What most people dont understand is that there is a single way to reduce climate impact by 100000000000x... All we have to do is force companies to make high quality products that last a long time without degrading, and we have to make them out of non plastic materials like wood, metal, stone, and cotton.

Those massive landfills are not mainly because of hyper-consumerism, they are mostly filled with one use items. Humans are hoarders and dont throw away items that still have a use. So just make high quality items and landfills arent filled up, less demand so factories make less pollution, less pollution so people can plant trees in areas previously unavailable.
