5x5 stronglifts program only allows you to go 3 times a week + 1 day for cardio

3 days a week full body is plenty. Make sure it’s high intensity. Lift heavy if you’re going for strength, if going for hypertrophy and reps, do barbell/dumbbell complexes or a superset variation to keep the intensity high, maximize metabolic stress, and keep your time down if time is a limiting factor.

3 times is alright, depends on what you want to do. If you want to become a meathead you might want to up that to 4-5 times a week, rest and sleep is more important than working out most of the times.

AthleanX, Jeff Nippard or Larry Wheels dietician (can't remember his name) are people with great workout facts.

Twice for swole, three times for strength, once or even twice a day for cardio (if you wanna be a great swimmer or runner for example), once or twice a week for intervals

How many days you go is irrelevant. What matters is FREQUENCY. For the curl monkeys: Frequency is the amount of times you train a muscle group (per week). 3 times full body is optimal and even ideal when we factor in recovery over the long run.
