Wow! That's almost exactly what we are required to spec in an operating room when designing, it looks pretty cluttered on the blueprints you send out to the electrical consultants.

We were lucky in our 90 y.o. house that the former owner must have been like you and fully upgraded the number of outlets to an abundant amount in nearly every room, including the tiny garage.

How much was the upgrade cost for wiring?

I just bought a resale house and it has multiple things I never had before: central vac, yard sprinkler system, alarm/camera system, recirculating hot water. Time will tell if I like these features. I have to start with figuring out how to work 'em!
