Removing an outline from a Default Landmass
Which color are you assigning them?
Based on your description, it sounds like you may have manually changed the palette for your map, and then assigned them this color. While there is technically nothing wrong with this, the palette in CC3+ can reset to the default map palette unless it has been properly re-attached to the map using :CC2PRESETS: after any change.
The recommended way to deal with Color Key is to give the entities Color number 6 in the palette, this is one of the default colors that appear in all official palettes, and shouldn't change even if a new palette is loaded or the current one is reset.

VTT Best Practices?
ChatGPT says it's best to have two output versions, one at 150 pixels per inch and the other for slower connections at 70 pixels per inch. Does that seem like the best approach?
ChatGPT recommended that the VTT output include one version that includes a 5-foot-per-inch grid and another version without a grid. (I gather that VTTs can add a grid but some GMs want a pre-gridded map.) These maps should be the player-facing map that doesn't have labels, and things like traps and secret doors are not shown. I'm wondering, though, if I should also have a version that does show the secret doors and passageways (but not the traps)?
Are you preparing maps so others can download and use them? If so, this makes sense, as it allows the end user to pick which map to use. If you are only using them yourself, having all these version makes no sense, just grab what you actually will use.
As I understand it, 1 inch should be 5 feet in map units. And the pixel dimensions for the file should be designed with pixels per inch times number of inches (which would be the map units divided by 5). So for example: a map that is 40 feet x 80 feet would be (on the 80 foot side): 80/5 for the number of inches (16), and multiply that by the number of pixels per inch, so at a resolution of 150px, the 40x80 map should be 1200x2400 px? Is my math correct?
Yes
I'm sure I can get it to work, but my question is less about how to do it and more about should I do it? Would the resulting file be too big for typical VTT services?
Quite possibly. Most online VTT services have strict limits on file sizes. But, the only way to find out is to export that particular map, and then compare to the allowed file sizes for the various VTT's. If it is over 10MB, it is not going to fit them all, but some may still allow it.

Does anybody have a collection of Character Artist symbol libraries?
I think most of the links should work if you take the download url and just replace sourcemaps with profantasy

Video Tutorials
YouTube separates 'Videos' from 'Livestreams', not something we can control. You need to use the 'Live' link on YT, not the 'Videos' one to see them.
The playlist for all live videos also exists, just use the 'Playlists' link on the YT page.

Welcome to the Updated Forum
The only way to look at a gallery is to go into the user's profile and select it (or follow a link they posted one). There are no ways to see multiple at once.
The 5MB limit for the gallery should be working now, I believe.

Welcome to the Updated Forum
While everything is technically possible, I am not very likely to add features that are not available as an add-on. There are a lot of various requests for all kinds of potential improvements here now, but all of those means that I basically will need to write a new plugin myself.
