I save files in neovim way too often, I started like we all do, using :w, then I implemented a form of "autosave" that saved the file when I exited insert mode by pressing kj. But then I found out about the okuuva/auto-save.nvim plugin, which is a fork of the unmaintained pocco81/auto-save.nvim plugin.
The plugin works great, it adds a debounce delay that adds a delay to save the file after it's changed. There are several trigger events that can be configured, undo and redo works fine, and it also works when combined with autoformatting
Here's the link for my plugin configuration and setup

Here's the code for reference, but instead of getting it from here, get it from the github repo:

event = { "InsertLeave", "TextChanged" }, -- optional for lazy loading on trigger events
opts = {

enabled = true, -- start auto-save when the plugin is loaded (i.e. when your package manager loads it)

enabled = true,
message = function() -- message to print on save
return ("AutoSave: saved at " .. vim.fn.strftime("%H:%M:%S"))
end,
dim = 0.18, -- dim the color of `message`
cleaning_interval = 1250, -- (milliseconds) automatically clean MsgArea after displaying `message`. See :h MsgArea
},
trigger_events = { -- See :h events
immediate_save = { "BufLeave", "FocusLost" }, -- vim events that trigger an immediate save
defer_save = { "InsertLeave", "TextChanged" }, -- vim events that trigger a deferred save (saves after `debounce_delay`)
