Volta vs. Nvm for JavaScript Tooling
I'll throw nave (https://github.com/isaacs/nave) in there as well.
I'm leery of things that globally mess with my environment. When I run "nave use latest" or "nave auto" (for predictable setup) then it creates a subshell that knows about node. Very self-contained, which I find necessary.

Install nodejs: (I highly recommend using a node version manager like fnm) and to install a recent node version (current long term support is 16+)

Effective nodejs version management for the busy developer
I highly recommend setting up nodejs with a version manager, nvm was and still is a popular option, however, I now recommend and have been using fnm, a simpler and faster alternative to manage my nodejs versions.

Oh My Zsh
I switched from nvm to fnm a few years ago and have never looked back. Zero performance issues and it supports .nvmrc files.

Pyright slows down my terminal, trying to speed it up, am using Lazyvim
If it's your terminal that's slow in general and not neovim specifically I found that switching from nvm to fnm for managing node significantly faster at starting up my shell. I don't know whether this is what your issue is but I thought I'd share it regardless. https://github.com/Schniz/fnm

fnm is a fast and simple Node.js version manager. It's really easy to use and is much faster than nvm.

Report on platform-compliance for cargo directories
As a macOS user, it boils my brain whenever I've to type in something like ~/Library/Application Support/org.rust-lang.Cargo/config.toml. macOS users have been begging CLI tools to support XDG variables on macOS too. Setting defaults is a strong indication to the community what should be the "preferred" locations. The defaults defined in your article will invariably lead to some authors saying that if that path is good enough for cargo, then it is good enough for their tool. Even the latest draft RFC acknowledges that macOS should use XDG variables too. I've written more about this here.

Any plans to update Pop base?
Install something like Fast Node Manager from https://github.com/Schniz/fnm and install your Node from there. I work in the software field and tend to use the LTS releases for the TypeScript/React projects I work on.

Building a modern gRPC-powered microservice using Node.js, Typescript, and Connect
You’ll need pnpm and Node.js installed on your machine + some tool for switching node versions (e.g. fnm or nvm will work fine);
What are some alternatives?
When comparing nave and fnm you can also consider the following projects:
nvm for Windows - A node.js version management utility for Windows. Ironically written in Go.
nvm - Node Version Manager - POSIX-compliant bash script to manage multiple active node.js versions
nodeenv - Virtual environment for Node.js & integrator with virtualenv
volta - Volta: JS Toolchains as Code. âš¡
n - Node version management
Scullog
asdf - Extendable version manager with support for Ruby, Node.js, Elixir, Erlang & more
nodenv - Manage multiple NodeJS versions.
