I do not, at least so far that I know.  Usually, I use a variable number
of stars before a headline, and write text "flushed left" afterwards,
and Org mode usually does exactly what I expect.

No, merely Enter at the end of each paragraph.  Each paragraph is a
single line.  I also managed so M-q (`fill-paragraph') collapse a set of
adjacent lines into a single one.

There is usually no extra space at the beginning of a line (or
paragraph).  Yet, I noticed that If I add some, the whole paragraph is
nicely shifted right on the screen, which is quite nice.

Yes.

A fairly recent one, from Git.  Likely one or two days old.

I do not remember TAB has any indenting effect, but has you say, it
might not be relevant when using `org-indent-mode'.
