The other MCU movies maintain a tight continuity and reference continuity, but are created to be enjoyed cold and are their own stories.
Stories like Avengers Forever and Endgame have to be the exception, because most stories that dense won't be as good as those stories.
The rule should be to try and balance, and the average Marvel movie is the best example. They are connected, but clearly individual stories. And that should apply to comic book runs as well.
