The order we chose for the footer elements was:
Post Meta (created an area for placement of a post byline, list of all categories, tags, and timestamp) Adjacent Posts Related Posts Comments / Discussion
We're also using a Below Content widget.
It would be great to have a UI to support this to negate the need for writing custom functions.

Somewhat related to https://github.com/Automattic/newspack-theme/issues/754 (in that the resolution to that issue is necessary to be able to move the Related Posts, regardless what mechanism we're using).
One approach could be a drag and drop panel in the Customizer (similar to widgets or menus), like:
... or there might be a better UI approach -- it needs some exploration.
Some considerations:
.entry-content(Related Content, Below Content Widget) are not being styled using that container on any sites, since they will need to be moved into the same.entry-footerspace as the tags, author bio and comments.
