Some need spraying to prevent disease, most need pruning. Some should have fruit thinned. In other words, this may be a whole new level of care than typical landscape items.
Figs are easy. They should be hardy for you, and I have not sprayed mine at all, no diseases there.
I am in Maryland so we share climate. I've "grown" peaches for 8 years (sprouted seedlings from compost) and brown rot is awful (unless you spray). I've never gotten to eat a ripe fruit. This year looked ok (small, some spots, but good enough to eat around) until something stole every single fruit just before ripening (squirrels?) Peaches grow a lot and should have yearly pruning. I have a Santa Rosa plum, it's become very big in just four years, is too tall for me to prune, I did have a huge crop this year for the first time (no spraying) and ate quite a few small but tasty ones that fell and ripened. ( And a whole lot more rotted).
Blueberries have been super easy and carefree here. Fifteen years on those.
