No the strings aren't too close, I have the guys at the guitar store change my strings and set up the action and they know what there're doing so everything is good there.

I use those "Cat's Tongue" pic's and have found myself going to a softer pic than what I started with, It seems to be a bit easier to play with a purple pic, I started with orange, I just finished playing the other day, saw the orange pic and grabbed it, way better sound off of it, I had the wife listen and she liked the sound of the stiffer pic too. I thought it was because the pic was coming off the string sharper than with the softer pic but not sure why the sound is different.
I only pic, no strumming or chords, my fingers are too old and too fat for chords.
Is pic choice a personal preference or is it a choice based on style of playing or type of guitar being played? I have a solid body Fender Squire, Acoustic Yamaha and a hollow body electric Gretsch, I play all 3 every day, getting lots of practice in with the self isolation we're all going through, IMO your never alone when you've got a guitar.
