I think that might be the only one in me and it's recycled. One of the
philosophy classes I took in college went on and on and on about the
scholarly debate over Heraclitus's flux. In the paper I had to write on it,
I think one of the headings was "The Debate: Who Gives a Flux?"

I actually don't use them that much. Most of my home training is
complexes, tumbling and striking. But that is what I have!

I'd say 45s, for more or less the same reson - it's what i currently
shoulder press. It's also what i'm curling, albeit badly. It wouldn't be
enough for bench presses, but might i manage some flyes? Also not enough
for upright or bent-over rows, but maybe front raises and reverse flyes,
at least low-rep partial ones!
But i expect that in a matter of weeks, it'd be the 50s i wanted for the
same reasons. Surely a fixed set at any weight isn't useful in the long
run? Hmm, maybe if there was a dumbbell library, where you could check out
any one weight at a time ...

This is part of what makes kettlebell training so interesting - a whole
methodology (for lack of a better word) has evolved around using a few,
fixed sizes. Lesson learned from bodyweight/gymnastics and elsewhere about
using leverage and technique to make lighter weights effectively harder -
all sorts of interesting stuff. While I think it's accurate to say having
only a few, fixed weights is insufficient for a competitive weight lifter, I
think it's equally accurate to say it can be sufficient for the most other,
general, strength and conditioning purposes. Knowing what I know now, I
could keep myself in good shape with a single kettlebell.

It depends what you do with it. If you follow a training system which
_assumes_ that you can adjust weight easily, it will not be all that
useful, but increasing weight isn't the only way of increasing
resistance. You can use leverage, like you proposed above.
