Emacs 29.1 Stuttery scrolling with (pixel-scroll-precision-mode)
Agreed. I've had success with beacon-mode for the same purpose. Making C-v and M-v scroll by half pages also helps.

Configuring emacs
I’d add that for 1) beacon is a good package. For 2), this may be an issue where you have multiple emacs configuration files. This is a serious problem. 3) be patient, and use the magic GC hack. To add to that, you should probably set the GC threshold to be high. 4) projectile? 5)emacs -nw.

LSP could have been better
I'm curious to know what `company` does differently here than `corfu`. As a longtime user I couldn't be happier.

C —> Guile is moving in the wrong direction: rather than going from a poor-but-performant systems programming language like C to a pedagogic language like Scheme, it’d be a better idea to move to an rich-and-performant language meant for industrial systems programming like Common Lisp
they wrote the first word and auto-completed the rest

Replacing packages with more "stripped down" packages
When I started using Emacs I was following the setup outlined by System Crafters, which I still think is a really good introduction. But, over the last few months I've started to replace packages with more "minimalist" or "stripped down" packages. I've switched from Ivy and Counsel to Vertico and Consult, and recently I switched from company to corfu for auto-completion.

Help a Linux kernel dev setup LSP
As for the Emacs configuration, you should only need a few lines of code, in order to get them up and running, if you are planning to keep your setup as close to vanilla as possible. If you are interested, you could additionally install a completion framework like company-mode to help you out.
