Which automatic farms should I build first in survival?

I've got a basic wheat farm but I'm still hand-harvesting everything else. Which auto farms give the best return early on - iron, sugarcane, mob farm? Java edition if that matters.

Iron farm first, no question. Buckets, rails, hoppers and anvils all eat iron and it's not hard to build. After that a sugar cane farm (paper for trading and rockets) and a villager trading hall as soon as you can manage it. A kelp farm feeding a smoker is a cheap fuel setup too. I'd leave big mob farms for later, they're a lot of digging for what you get early on.
