How much should we use the conjuncts (words like besides, however, nevertheless, otherwise, so, therefore, still, yet, though) in formally communicating via email, verbally etc?
Any suggestions in what kind of communications we should lessen their use? I just want to know more about them.

I don't think that this is about "how much", "how many". The quantity by itself does not determine the degree of formality.
The words that you choose however do sound more formal or less formal. For example, compare the examples below:
1) less formal
2) more formal
1) less formal (?)
2) more formal (?)
1) less formal
2) more formal
