I've started testing 2.190 late Friday. I did not find any immediate reasons to reject it as the LTS. The security release scheduled for Wednesday seems to me like a good reason to prefer choosing 2.190 as a baseline, then update to the security release as the baseline after it is delivered.
I haven't investigated the startup failures reported in JENKINS-58912 and JENKINS-58938. I'm also concerned about JENKINS-58692 from the KDE project beginning in 2.186. Jesse Glick investigated it and was unable to duplicate it. The KDE project found a workaround (install the symlinks plugin) and can't really explore other options because it is their production system. JENKINS-58692 will affect 2.186 and later, so it seems relevant to investigate further as a risk to any LTS version we select. I prefer the upcoming security release as the baseline, but JENKINS-58912 and JENKINS-58938 need investigation before the LTS is released.
