I suppose it can vary from one area/climate to the next along with the composition of the fuel you receive, so asking a few local people what they do or don't do would the best advise you could get.
For my purposes I have 500-600 gal of gas delivered at a time probably 3 times a year, never had a problem with it going bad.
Not uncommon here for a vehicle that has sat for 2 or 3 years with fuel in it to fire up and run just fine on what's in the tank.
You mentioned you have 7 tractors, I am guessing you have at least one that sat for quite some time with aged fuel in it.
How did it run when you finally started it back up?
As far as the meter goes unless there is something new out there I have not seen one that will work with any accuracy on a gravity flow system.
Filters and water separators are just another hassle and expense.
Install your tank so the back end is a couple of inches lower that the front end where your hose attaches and any water or sediment will settle at the low end and not come through the hose.
Try not to draw any fuel out of the tank the same day you get it delivered so it has time to settle out.
