Fees will be determined by UTXOs
UTXOs can be used as inputs for your transactions. Your transaction fee will be decided by transaction size and fee rate. Transaction size depends on your input number (more inputs, bigger size) and your address types.

Any idea how minimum satoshis should a UTXO contain in order to be spendable so that fees don’t exceed the UTXO balance ?
You have to check mempools to use good fee rate.

maybe fees in the future will be so high ?
Fees are not forever cheap or forever high. Mempools can change with time so does transaction fee.

When fee rates are cheap, consolidate your small UTXOs
