Musl libc is a more preferable option if security and speed are important to you, compared to glibc, but is this currently the case? Do most applications still not work on musl? And how effective is gcompat?

Personally, i prefer a smaller general codebase with equal speed vs. a bigger one with specific hacks and workarounds.
But honestly, at this level maybe for critical things like a high-security server (Alpine).
The line between what is a hack and what is basic performance optimisation is both subject to taste and use-case. Horses for courses, right?
