Thank you (author here). I deliberately used the default settings. Typst mentions settings for the line breaking system in the manual (for example you can set the penalties for changing interword spacing between lines), the speedata publisher can switch on margin kerning.

There might be settings to speed up things, so if any of the authors provide me with the settings, I'd be happy to implement those.

Correct, I rarely submit something, I wasn't aware that I don't have to fill in all fields.

I benchmark six different typesetting systems, typst ist by far the fastest. This article describes why the speedata Publisher is still my choice for producing product catalogs.

LuaHBTeX support has improved in the current version (next year's TeX-live), for example support for subsetting fonts.

I use the standard binary from TeX-live and use the integrated harfbuzz loader, which works like a charm.

The downloadable ZIP is ready to run and does not need any additional libraries. (That said, I include some helpers, for example for https access. )

Just a small note: the speedata Publisher ships with a LuaTeX, so you don't need it pre-installed.
