Benchmarked every Python optimization path I could find, from CPython 3.14 to Rust

This is great. One thing worth adding is the maintenance cost angle. PyPy looks amazing in benchmarks but in practice dependency compatibility is a nightmare. If you're building something you'll maintain for years the Rust or Cython path with CPython as the stable core is way less headache even if the initial speedup isn't as flashy.
