didnt its better to use GSC removal feature right after we delete the articles so google not recognize it as 404 pages?

I wouldn't leave it as 404. It should be redirected to live source. Ideally a page talking about the same thing but in much higher quality.
Although, few 404s are completely fine.

I always just let them deindex naturally.

Could you recommend me any plugin to do this easily?
I have tried it many times but failed. Some WordPress plugins are not working for me.

If I ever delete any articles or pages in my website, I immediately apply 301 redirect to the deleted urls. This is the natural way of letting Google decide the fate of the deleted articles.
You can search for a wordpress plugin named 'Redirection' by John Godley for this. It is the most easy to use and popular plugin for this purpose.

Yes I second Redirection.
If you want something simpler, I suggest Simple 301 Redirects
