I think a category for Fresh install setups below the Support category would be nice. For manual install option during install which is used for non-standard setups in my case.

The wiki covers that pretty well, but I suppose capturing installation issues under that category might make sense.
Can you offer an example of what you mean by āFresh Install Setupā?
AFAIK I can boot from USB, point to a partition, and the installation is entirely completed and set up ready to useā¦ even the .zshrc is included 
that was always the first thing Iād import to a fresh install.
From there on, just organising personal details (sign in with Firefox, synchronise, sign in Bitwarden, then set up my 'Arr stack).
I am very much opposed to Guides saying āTen Things To Do after Installing Manjaroā.
There is a guide (in case you havenāt seen it)ā¦ Allow me to clarify 
- Step 1: Update/upgrade.
- Step 2: Enjoy.

As for now maybe I am jus fine asking for separate /home disk feature on the installer apart from manual partitioning.
āCustom Manualā is where you do your separate /home PARTITIONā¦ that partition can be a separate disk, but it canāt be automated - you must decide where.
Unless you have a very good reason for doing so, then automatic is the way to go - and avoids problems like āOh, my /home is big enough but my /root partition is too tiny nowā.
When thereās not too much space (maybe your /video /music or /pictures folder is getting too massive) then you can map them to other locations without a separate /home partition.
Probably not a bad idea in my opinion. Iād be happy to contribute something there, anyway, as long as it doesnāt involve btrfs (at least presently).
The only āstandardā installs I have are in Virtual Machines! Iām likely not the only one.
