I'm glad you brought this up friend!
There is a lot of debate on whether using overlays is needed or not, for example look at Little_S who just goes fullscreen game with chat on the side and it works perfectly for him. You should really think "do i actually need an overlay" before playing certain games and if not don't feel forced to actually have one.

In Terms of overlays, i think a lot of chuubas go for the tried and tested formula of game in top left, overlay border on the bottom and rightside (think hololive). I would say out of chuubas known;
>Josabelledemon, Maroony, Chiipaws, Poya, Dot_lvl, Shimada, Krimbo crew (very nice looking but it's still taking up too much space in comparison to josabelle, maroony etc)
These are probably examples of Non-intrusive overlays that don't take up too much space but also do the job decently well. In particular Dot_lvl is a great one to copy for retro games because he keeps wasted space to a minimum. Josabelle is also great as the game screen is still the major focus and the overlay goes well with her theme. Chiipaws if you look at her Atelier playthrough has a slightly different one that works well too and still keeps focus on the game itself.

Having chat on screen is actually good for YT VODs since people watching the VODs aren't going to know what the streamer is responding to so having a reference is really good. They also help if someone wants to go full screen.
