I'm sorry for Chinese version cuz my English "sucks(?)"
I've revisited missions recently, and try to achieve gold with default fleet and/or stock ships.
Here are my opinions:
Homecoming
Hard to gold it, IMPOSSIBLE with default fleet. I recommend Large Methane Tanker for the mission.
You can watch the following video to learn how to minimize the delta-v. Although it's a video in 2016, but it's still useful in 2019. (Jump to 21:56 for Homecoming!)
After watching the video, I've decreased my delta-v to 11.4 km/s.
If you have Community Material Pack and Community Future Material Pack, you can gold it with fusion-powered rockets!
You can also use some powerful reactor for those MPDs with high Isp and thrust to win the interstellar yacht race!

Main Belt Extraction
Easy, but not possible with default fleet. You can gold it in a single run if you choose the right ships.
You can watch the following video to learn how to gold it in a single run. Although it's a video in 2016, but it's still useful in 2019. (Jump to 30:16 for Main Belt Extraction!)
Vesta Overkill
Nearly IMPOSSIBLE.
Hail to high yield nukes, super drones and high Isp/TWR rockets!
On the Surface of Giant
Nearly IMPOSSIBLE.
You can gold it with high delta-v, high yield nuclear missiles. If you have Community Material Pack and Community Future Material Pack, you can gold it with fusion-powered missiles!
Solar Ties
Easy, you can gold it in a single run. I "golded" it at the first time.

Dusk over Triton
Possible with default fleet. Starting from Nereid, at the edge of Neptune (SOI), you have a lot room for orbital transfer, just make sure entering orbit around Triton within 2M5D to have enough time to launch your missiles & drones. You can gold it in a single run.
My record:
2M6D
5.53km/s
(sorry for Chinese version.)
(Successfully golded it in 2M6D~2M7D with 5.5~5.6 km/s.)

The Fall of Titan
Possible with default fleet. You can gold it in a single run. Tips: transfer window. If you've played Kerbal Space Program a lot, you definitely knows it. You can gold it in a single run.

My record:
6D17H (brachistochrone trajectory),
5.94km/s (wait for transfer window)
(sorry for Chinese version again.)
(6D17H with brachistochrone trajectory, delta-v is not too much.)
(Golded it in a single run, 7D9H, 5.94 km/s after leaving Enceladus at the right transfer window.)
