I believe the way things are currently trending is that architectures might turn some short hard to predict branches into predicated instructions instead (similar to x86 CMOV or some ARM conditional execution instructions). Outside of short branches the overhead for loading up to 2 instructions for every 1 that gets executed can be too costly. Branch predication on SIMD/SIMT instructions is already the way things work for GPUs and AVX256/512 from my understanding.

Probably the Techies +25x damage talent? In 2017 [7.07] it was increased from +250 damage to +251 damage. Then in 2020 [7.28] it was increased again to +252 damage.

Cryogenic temperatures make most materials more brittle, hard to get a material that works at a wide enough range of temperatures to make a balloon to work correctly.

If you go for a narrower range of temperatures (ie. not structurally stable above 0C), it would need to be manufactured, transported, stored, tested and installed at seriously low temps which probably negates the possible advantage with the added technical complexity.

Most plastics are very brittle at the cryogenic temperatures. Also if you are using that method for a liquid oxygen tank, you need to make sure that the plastic you choose doesn't spontaneously combust on contact with LOX.
