How many days for a Hawaii vacation?

I would say 6 full days minimum not counting travel days. If traveling from Louisiana get one of the morning flights out of Houston, Atlanta, Dallas that arrives around 2pm local time to best handle the time change. Can also sneak in a whole extra day by taking a red eye home that leaves after 7 pm.

10-14 days. It’s a haul and can be very expensive. Might as well maximize your time there.

This. Two days will be for traveling. At least four or five days on each island. I loved Oahu but I love the North Shore. We did four days on Maui the two times we have gone. I haven't been since the fires so I don't know how the island is now.

I totally agree about taking the late flight home. If you do this, make sure to book an extra night. This way you can do whatever you want during the day and get cleaned up before your flight home. We usually just relax on the beach or by the pool the last day, get cleaned up, go eat dinner and then head to the airport.
