I have different blogs, and I always have doubts with the url, do I use the slug "../blog/ .." or not?
I mean, when indexing, for the fact of not being ordered on the sitemap?
Example:
domain.com/blog/my-post
domain.com/my-post

Always as short as possible, IMO
Website structure was all about folders and sufolders decades ago, stuff like, site.com/niche1/subnicheA/blog/1998/jaunary/kill_mice_27_10_98
Not anymore. Structure your site well with interlinks, but keep the URLs as short and user-appealing/friendly as possible.

If the site is already a blog why put /blog/ on it? It would make sense if "domain.com" and "domain.com/blog" were different sites.

I dont get this part though:

The 'blog' segment is mostly for websites that are not exclusively blogs or that have a custom homepage. If your site is all blog, you do not need to use it. In fact, you shouldn't but it won't hurt either.

In your case you don't need to use domain.com/blog/my-post

It will be useful when you want to create big business website.

No need to add unless it is necessary. Adding post name, it will increase relevancy.. Url should make sense and user friendy.

If you don't plan to build a bigger site with a shop directory or something else you don't need it.

I recommend the most short version

Code:

domain.com/my-post

Using it will increase URL length which is not good for On-page SEO.
