The offical forum, doesnt allow any talk about unoffical builds, at all. So you cant even ask, "hey i wanna play this game, can you tell me what build to use?" . They will know the answer, but the rules are so harsh you cant even speak about unoffical builds. I found it rather rude that my simple question got locked down simply becouse they want nothing to do with unoffical builds, i even very plainly and obviosly stated the question was to the COMMUNITY, and it was still locked down.
So yea, cant really complain that unoffical builds are draining tests samples when people get treated like that on the offical forums. You have to look at unoffical forums for answers where ofc unoffical builds are used the most.
As for inflated FPS, well going by MH games and my experience, added jit ticks actualy LOWERS fps.
Emulation speed increases but FPS decreases, resulting in stuttery but full speed gameplay.
For example if you can only manage 50% emulation speed on a 60 FPS game like MH4U, u add jit ticks to bring emulation speed up to 100% but you' likely end up with around 30 FPS resulting in stutter. And if its a 30 FPS game at 100% emulation and u can only manage 50%, then u may end up with 15 fps at 100% emulation with added ticks.
So yea not sure what ur on about with 'inflated fps', its the complete oposite from my experience.
The normal way would be to challenge the rule *first*, and if you fail you just go for an unofficial chat elsewhere.
But it sounds like you did the other way round.
And your expectation on official forum is weird.
Of course official side don't cater discussions about unofficial builds.
And from your word you're expecting officials to show you an unofficial build as answer. I mean WAT???
And mixing the discussion of two sides are extremely dangerous in terms of troubleshooting. You KNOW how lazy people are.
And tick hack builds behaviour vary per-game per-setting, and base on current info you're supposed to test out and memorize which game should use which setting (or ask valen on every single game)
I still remember No$Zoomer back then *at least* points out which optional setting fits for which few games in menu (though we still test it ourselves on other games)
So yeah it's worse than the old days.

If unofficial builds are like DeSmuME X432R,
and we're discussing unofficial builds in an unofficial build thread, everything is fine.
If unofficial builds are witch doctor builds, that's not something to happy about;
But what mentioned in above discussion is even worse -
Medicine delivered by a carefree doctor in the worst way possible, and the patients do their Witch Doctor job.
