Short answer: which Boruto episodes to skip

Filler (28): 16–17, 40–41, 48–50, 67–69, 96–97, 112–119, 138–140, 152–154, 156, 256.

Whole arcs you can skip: Chocho (67–69), Konohamaru's Love (116–119).

Longest filler stretch: Episodes 112–119 (8 in a row); the story resumes at episode 120.

Mixed episodes (12) contain story you need, so watch them.

Anime-only story (179): 2–15, 25–38, 42–47, 51–52, 60, 70–92, 98–105, 120–126, 128–137, 141–147, 155, 158–180, 190–191, 209, 221–255, 257–281. Not in the manga but not filler either: later episodes build on it. Manga readers who only want the adapted story can skip these too.
