I'm now running Emacs 29 with Spacemacs and the Practicalli Spacemacs config, without any issues noticed so far. Emacs 29 does seem to run a little faster than 28 (which in turn ran a lot faster than Emacs 27). I built Emacs 29 from source with the --native-compilation=aot option, so it would compile the Emacs lisp files that ship with Emacs source code during compilation (rather than when first starting Emacs) The speed increase of 29 could be due in part to compiling the source code on newer versions of Ubuntu packages for the compiler and tools... or just doing a new install... I've documented how to build Emacs from source on Ubuntu in https://practical.li/blog/posts/build-emacs-from-source-on-ubuntu-linux/ I havent tapped into any of the new features of Emacs 29 yet, such as treesitter or Eglot, but they both sound quite interesting and will try them out in the coming months (when I figure out how to do so).
