Give wezterm a try: https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/index.html

It is cross OS (learn once and use the same terminal in Windows, macOS and Linux), actively developed and written in rust

While it is nice to have options, I still think iTerm2 is one of the best terminal emulators for OS X out there. It has also most likely been audited more thoroughly than newer options out there. There was a security audit sponsored by Mozilla in 2019 [1].

Written in Rust is nice, but it also uses `libssh` which has a history of security issues and bad support for recent ciphers. Would be interesting if it also has issues with terminal escape sequences.

I'm not sure I want any features in my terminal at this point...

I had major slow down in wexterm on my MBA. I didn't really look into it because the terminal is something I want to install and forget about, so the solution may be trivial. But it was so laggy as to be unusable.
It's a bit heavy, but I've liked Tabby outside Windows a bit... I really like the new Windows terminal from MS, but it's Windows only, Tabby is about the closest I've found to it.
