What is Ezreal's most reliable build when he mainly wants to poke before the fight?

Ezreal's most reliable build is the one that protects his first big spike while keeping enough safety to keep playing from range. If your item order helps him do neither, it is missing his real job.

When should you truly adapt Ezreal's build instead of pushing standard scaling?

You should adapt as soon as the enemy draft stops you from playing your normal rhythm. If you need to survive longer, absorb more burst, or answer a specific engage, the purchase order has to move early.

Which enchant should Ezreal choose when the real issue is staying slippery for longer?

Stasis often remains the most reliable choice when Ezreal mainly needs to preserve his positioning safety. If this enchant gives him one more poke or reposition window, it gives a lot of value.
