If I have an HBoxContainer with 3 children, how can I justify the spacing of its children automatically? I know I can hard-code it by using the custom_constants/separation property but I want the spacing to be automatic.

What do you mean by "justify"? Do you mean centering the children of the HBoxContainer node?

you can select all children and select Size Flags -> Expand (if there is room) and they will each expand to an equal size

you can select all children and select Rect->Min Size to make them all the same with or height

you can put empty Control nodes between children and set min size or expand too
