As it's still an MVP in C++26, the key decision to make for now is whether
to use contracts at all. It's not that unfortunate having to wait 3 more
years for a riper product if the 1st *minimal* edition doesn't yet fit your
use cases. Some of us though will be able to use them, and we should be
allowed to.

I should have made an effort to come up with some proper pun for you
calling over two decades of contract work (including half a decade of SG21)
"as fast as possible", but I know I'm no match for your linguistic
skills. 😉
