Hello! We have an overview of Subscription-related Events here that might help: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/overview#subscription-events

Ultimately the Events you listen to are up to you. Different people/entities listen to different Events depending on their unique needs.

thank you for this list! even as I'm looking through this, I don't fully understand how to map it onto my simple binary needs - subscription is currently active (paid for) or inactive (cancelled/declined payment)

for example: do subscription pauses only emit the customer.subscription.paused event, or do they additionally emit a customer.subscription.updated event that I can simply check the status with?

They'll also emit the updated Event. You can test all of this in test mode to see exactly what happens.
