Red Hat Enterprise Linux has upgraded their default target to x86-64-v2 and is considering switching to x86-64-v3 for RHEL 10 (which should release around 2026?). I'd take that as a sign that those might be reasonable choices for newly released software.

Some linux distros also give you the option to either get a version compatible with ancient hardware or the optimized x86-64-v3 version, which seems like a good compromise.
