My rear tire is much more worn (and got few slippages on the climb on dirt lately) than front. The pattern still seems rideable though, so I'm thinking of just flipping them. Do you guys do that?

I do. Some people will buy one new one and replace the worn tire.
Ride until rear is done. Swap front to back and put new tire on front 👌🏻
I used to cycle them back to front and just keep replacing the rear, but with tubeless this is a messy process and if I think about it I don’t save any time or money vs. just replacing whichever tire is most worn at the time.
I do especially on track bikes, but tubeless gravel/mountain is too much hassle.
Wear the rear until the front is due to replacement, just be wary in wet and muddy conditions.
I rotate them every time I ride. That’s how tires work
As needed.
You generally want the front to have the best tread, so I usually rotate front to back, and new front.
If you don’t rotate your tyres, your bike never moves.
I rotate when I replace sealant.
No. I ride until done.
Always have your best tyre on the front
