With Emacs 30 I've stopped compiling from the master branch, preferring the tagged releases.

    GNU Emacs 30.0.92 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.33, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2024-12-03

It seems that most of the features I was eager to try from the master branch at various times (starting from native comp, then tree-sitter, use-package (although I've started using elpaca instead), modus themes, transient, etc.) have been merged. A lot of great features have been added to Emacs in recent years. Kudos to the maintainers!

Using your thread to ask: What recommendations do people have for a build that's best for heavy org-mode use? Of all emacsen which is the best drive for Org?

I don't have any specific build-time recommendations for org-mode, but I can wholeheartedly recommend the built-in 'leuven' theme for org-mode work. I normally don't go in for light themes, but this one has so many nice little touches to spruce up org-mode elements I find myself switching to it from my usual dark doom or modus themes when working on org-mode projects.
