manners are a way to exclude/insult/socially relegate people based on their upbringing.
social interactions that legitimately do require caution and care are asking for diplomacy, which does not include how to hold and arrange your cutlery but instead includes thinking through the possible implications of what you're about to say.
I like a couple of mannersy things that have practical implications. Putting your knife and fork together to indicate you're done eating is good because the waiter or whoever can grab the plate and both cutlery at the same time with one hand.
