Use Kerbal Alarm Clock to set timers to pull you out of warp before maneuvers or SOI changes.

Kerbal Engineer Redux helps match orbital periods a lot more carefully. Then either setting the engine to 0.5% max thrust or having RCS lets you actually execute the numbers it tells you you need.
I've added another since that post, Trajectories
I've got a geostationary trio around Kerbin, and similar trios around Mun and Minmus. I don't have any dedicated relay infrastructure outside Kerbin's SOI yet, but most of my planetary probes are incidental relays.
The one en route to Jool served to keep 100% comms uptime on my Duna/Ike orbital exploration probe, then I parked that probe in a Molniya-ish orbit of Duna to get it peeking over the ecliptic after I got all the science I could with it.
My next few launches are going to be putting relay networks and scansats on everything in the inner system while my Mun and Minmus stations do their science lab thing.
Yeah, modded all to shit and back. I started with a modlist from some youtuber and I've been adding more mods every couple days since.
The list as it stands today, exported from CKAN: (edit spoilered for size)

I mean ones that don't rely on that "lift" nonsense and get to the orbital transfer station through good honest thrust to weight ratio over 1
If wasd plus hnijkl is good enough for orbital maneuvering it should be good enough for anything
I'll just keep researching KSPI nuclear engines until I can do propulsive SSTOs
I added a bunch more planets and moons past Eeloo to land on but I still can't fly a plane
Thinking about those $2 noodle places in China that have Michelin stars but still sell $2 noodle bowls.

When you actually match the periods right it doesn't need maintenance
