I don't really care about the amount of people at my homes since I don't spend much time there (hi spouse, give me money, bye spouse). I usually start building pretty early, before I have many followers available for hiring as stewards, hence housecarls being the easiest option.

I only had Erik for a short time as a follower and spouse (via console) on one of my lower level characters. I gave him some out-of-depth elven armor and an even more out-of-depth glass greatsword and he did pretty well.
