What I'd like to see done in Emacs
I don't use icomplete nor vertico most of the time, but I am very familiar with them. I've tried lots of completion UIs: default completion, ido (with ido-completing-read to get it everywhere), icomplete, vertico, selectrum, helm, ivy; and I've written several myself: icomplete-vertical, live-completions, grille, embark-collections-completions.

New package: Vcomplete - visual enhancements to the default completion interface
I too am guilty of once writing a package that updates the *Completions* buffer as you type: live-completions. My package didn't have a way to move the "currently selected" completion from the minibuffer (because I didn't mind switching to the completions buffer for that). Recently u/protesilaos also wrote his own version, in prot-minibuffer.el. I'm sure there are many other examples.

Emacs Advent Calendar 7: ordeless, embark 1.0 and some bric-a-brac
orderless. A highly configurable completion style that matches multiple patterns in any order against minibuffer completion candidates.

Returning emacs user - what packages are common now?
An example relevant to your list would be some changes many people are taking with their completion framework - using package that leverage core emacs functionality rather than replacing it with a complete package that 'overrides' it. Consult, vertico, orderless and associate packages come to mind here. If you do a bit of a search you'll find plenty of info. Here is a video from Prot on the subject, but there are many others as well. I think Prot actually went on to write his own completion system to overlay native emacs functionality as well.

How to configure corfu for arbitrary orderless matching?
You didn't mention, so I'll ask, are you using the orderless (https://github.com/oantolin/orderless) completion style?

Help wanted: Zsh completion like Vertico+Orderless
Fuzzy completion ala Orderless would be awesome: hitting space during completion acts as a pattern separator.

Selectrum now deprecated in favor of Vertico
I dunno—I like how Vertico+Counsel feel. I'm not sure how good the support for Orderless and Embark are in Ivy, but I really like how those packages compose so nicely with the Vertico+Consult ecosystem.

How to get helm like narrowing behavior with selectrum?
In general, you want either orderless or prescient, with my personal preference being the former.

How to get corfu completions that include substring matches?
You probably want to investigate completion styles. There are many builtin styles, from basic, which just does prefix completion, on up. But there are also 3rd party styles. One of the most powerful is called orderless. Considering all these styles, there really is a ton of flexibility in how you can get to a completion candidate like some-named-something (some, s-n-s, sns, soso, [a-z]{4}-na, e\b \bs, ...). You can even configure more than one style at a time (and usually do).

What are the kinds of things you've written Emacs Lisp for?
Well, I've written some general purpose Emacs packages (orderless and embark) that I use a lot, but I also write Emacs Lisp for one-off tasks.

Show HN: Tere – A Faster Alternative to CD+ls
I like it. Would be nice to see orderless-style (https://github.com/oantolin/orderless) completion, and a config not to enter the directory by narrowing the completion to one, requiring enter to be pressed.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing live-completions and orderless you can also consider the following projects:
embark - Emacs Mini-Buffer Actions Rooted in Keymaps
selectrum - 🔔 Better solution for incremental narrowing in Emacs.
.emacs.d - My current Emacs setup.
doom-emacs - An Emacs framework for the stubborn martian hacker [Moved to: https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs]
eglot - A client for Language Server Protocol servers
emacs-gdb - GDB graphical interface for GNU Emacs
link-hint.el - Pentadactyl-like Link Hinting in Emacs with Avy
swiper - Ivy - a generic completion frontend for Emacs, Swiper - isearch with an overview, and more. Oh, man!
elisp-format - Originally from EmacsWiki
helm-ag - The silver searcher with helm interface
prism.el - Disperse Lisp forms (and other languages) into a spectrum of colors by depth
