This one looks close. Also at the end of the readme there's a table comparing it to other alternatives.

Here is the issue: https://github.com/DarthFennec/highlight-indent-guides/issues/123

I meant to set it up but never wrote down what it was called and now I can't find it anymore. I'm not talking about this: https://github.com/DarthFennec/highlight-indent-guides and results for this (and the 5+ other packages that do this same thing) is all I can find when googling different variations of "emacs syntax coloring by indentation level" etc.

While older than Highlight-Indentation-for-Emacs, you can see also https://github.com/DarthFennec/highlight-indent-guides, the latter supports dynamic indent width detection (may not be important for JS, though).

I'm happy with https://github.com/DarthFennec/highlight-indent-guides and Emacs 28 (with native comp) but my files are not huge, max 400 lines generally.

Also for seeing indentation more clearly you could try something like highlight-indent-guides.

highlight-indent-guides has a mode like the one in the screenshot, but by default it doesn't show up in org-mode. I haven't tried to see what it would take to enable it there.

Before LSP, it was always annoying getting things setup. You want to get serious with a new language, spend a day configuring Emacs first. Or, fix your 3 year old config. Now it all pretty much just works! With native-comp its even better. Plus I'm using lot of modern features that I never did earlier, eg. renaming, automatically remove imports, see the inferred type in minibuffer.

Flycheck still makes it a bit slow. I think, one big missing piece is lack of multiple threads, which often makes few things a bit laggy. For example, if I'm reading a big C++ source code with indentation guides[1], even with native-comp it can lag a bit.
