I think hoppers are the most crafted item that requires iron, and for good reasons. They are extremely useful in farms, and they're pretty beginner friendly. On top of that, hoppers are used to craft the Minecart with Hopper, which is very useful and uses a lot of iron too. Yes, anvils also use a lot of iron, but you only need 1 or 2 anvils to get maxed gear.

I use beacons a lot in my worlds, so I craft most of my iron into blocks.
