how may laps do you put as standard?

I use to set it for 20 laps

30 laps here.

I use 15 myself.

10 for me. Thinking of expanding that to 15 though, so that back markers and pitstops become a bit more relevant.

I tried more laps, and stopped when the computers seemed incapable of lapping the back-markers.

I was about 5 seconds in 1st place when I appoached the 20th place car, and I'd lapped 4th before 2nd and 3rd (who were neck and neck) had managed to get past 19th... The 5 seconds turned into a full lap pretty much, so I assumed I had to use a length where lapping wasn't an issue.

Is this now different, or was this another "Australian track" issue?

20 Laps for me. I've jacked up the fuel useage in the Engine.ini file so that it works out to be around 1-2 pitstops per race.

I used to race 30, and that was a good number, but I got sick of the constant pitstops and lapping of cars, played with the settings and changed to 20 and it seemed a reasonable emulation of a proper race.

15 for me. Means I'm two-stopping most races, which sounds about right. Backmarkers rarely come into effect (they rarely do in modern-day F1, given the closeness of the grid and safety cars...oh, and races being called off after an hour), unless they have to pit for repairs.
