Should StarShips actively use probes to explore the unknown before entering into a area themselves?

Every time that I've seen them warp out into the middle of a Debris/Asteroid field, it's been with TOS era StarShips.

So there might have been sensor limitations at that time that TNG era ships don't have.

If you mean TOS era starships from the reboot movies and current series like Discovery, then yes. This did not happen during the original TOS series (unless you have some specific episodes in mind.)

As far as TNG era ships, the current series like Lower Decks had the Cerritos drop out of warp in "Wej Duj" unaware of the presence of the Pakled and Klingon ship. I don't believe earlier TNG era series had this limitation.

It's weird, it's almost like the writers forgot what their sensors were capable of.

Perhaps not all starships are created equal? Most spinoffs follow superheroes in superships, but the Discovery is a science tub that can barely hold her own in a fight if shutting down engines to channel power to phasers - perhaps her sensors are equally inferior The same would of course go double for the Cerritos.

We can keep on pretending this till SNW has Pike's Enterprise behave the exact same way...

But never how they are properly pronounced...
