Mojave. Yep, I just won't let it go, too ... !I have found that Mojave seems to be the 'sweet-spot' for me. It's a good combination of things, like Snow Leopard is the perfection of Leopard.
My preference anyway.
There's a lot of stuff related to 32bit and backward compatibility.
I have a running MBP/scanner/DEVONthing2&3-Combo with DT2OfficePro2 also capable of working as a webserver.
All my pictures are cought in iPhoto/Aperture, since I didn't dare to make the transition to Apples 'new' Foto.App.
CCC-bootable-Clone Backups are still working without any hickups.
Nevertheless, there's plenty space for a multi-boot-configuration on a mid2012 15" non-Retina MBP9,1.
(like insane 2x8TB SSD).
It'll cope with OCLP Monterey/Ventura/Sonoma quite decent - so there's some 5-6y ahead of getting kind of support.
My 2013 11" i7 MBA already runs on OCLP/Ventura and first steps with OCLP/Sonoma on it's sibling did also come in not too bad.
Had to change Backup/Restore-routine: now backup with CCC, but restore via MigrationAssistent.
Since I had a couple of "unexpected events" that rendered the affected OCLP/macOS-installation beyond repair,
my current workflow now is to separate macOS&synched-data from my other big chunk of personal data by using separate Volumes. That will keep the macOS-system-Volume pretty small and handsome and gives the option to install/have a "shadow"-macOS-system at hands located in a separate Volume.
In case of needing a full restore, the amount of data, that have to be shuffled, is also reasonably small.
Well, moving to APFS has it's two sides. Currently I feel more and more dedicated to the good side ...
