This plugin customizes many of the default admin bar nodes and reorganizes them beneath the site name dropdown menu. It includes menu items from the dashboard for easy access to common pages on the backend.

It's much simpler at first glance. The real benefit is in the dropdown menu. As you can see, there are convenient links to many of the block editor pages, as well as standard dashboard menu pages, and finally a list of post types.
