Hello Tom, It's good to hear this kind of feedbacks,
Thanks for sharing. 3.11.x seems to get more love from the community wrt patches. This is why > I'd recommend 3.11.x for new projects. > I also agree with this analysis.

Maybe add that 3.11.x, that is described as 'very stable' above, aims at stabilizing Cassandra after the tick-tock releases and is a 'bug fix' series and brings features developed during this period, even though it is needed to be careful with of some the new features, even in latest 3.11.x versions. I did not work that much with it yet, but I think I would pick 3.11.2 as well for a new cluster at the moment.
