As many as it takes to get a clean one. I've done one and I've done twenty.

fixing things: how do determine what's fixable where? Do I punch in and re-record or do I handle it downstream with compression/whatever tool?
Example: say fingerpicking acoustic and an alternating bass note is too loud or it's too quiet or slight misfret.

Loudness control of a note is a function of your audio Jedi skills. If you have the skill to go in and surgically automate one loud note down
and know it, you can leave it for later. A misfret is sometimes harder. Try to fix it while you are still in the playing zone unless there's another iteration of the same note somewhere that you can surgically copy to cover the glitch. However, don't get lost in trying to make an edit sound natural when punching in a replacement for the note or passage could be easier. UNLESS you love to learn, don't get frustrated by learning by doing, and are willing to back out and re-perform the passage if it doesn't work.
