Concretely in the case that I attached here (it's a real case), the chapter ends on page 39. Page 38 starts a new subsection that overflows into page 39 but would have also fit into page 39 as a whole.

The question is: Should I prepend a \newpage? Or should I trust in the wisdom of LaTeX's auto-formatting?

    Welcome to TeX.SX! Usualy you should trust in the wisdom of LaTeX, because if this is not the "real final final version" something could change and then a \newpage at the wrong location would look terrible. If it is only a subsubsection and there are multiple lines and not just one it should be ok. For oneliners there are penalties, see How do I prevent widow/orphan lines?. – dexteritas Nov 03 '22 at 09:20

Go with LaTeX until your final printing when you can do some last minute tweaks to the document layout.

Think what happens if you keep using \newpage but then add or subtract text from earlier in the document. Are your \newpages then in their best place?
