I second that recommendation (@mcc I see that you've already starred that post of mine, where I made that assessment a couple of days ago).
My prognosis is, that once we come out on the other side of the inevitable AI bubble core collapse event Linux development will likely revert to 6.18, back-porting the most important security fixes, and otherwise just discarding the slop.
I've pinned all of my systems to 6.18-LTS, and that's what I recommend everyone else.
