Adobe lists Indesign version 20 as compatible with Mac OS Tahoe but a Google search reveals quite a few problems.

Anyone on Tahoe using Indesign 2025 (and 2026, for that matter, which suffers from the same problems, apparently) ?

I use Indesign as my main app, as do my designers. What issues are you talking about? No issues here running latest Mac OS version as well as in Windows 11.

Apparently, there are reports of Indesign being slow (clicking on something and ID only responding after a second or so), graphical artifacts, etc.

This is only with Indesign version 20 (2025), not with the latest version 21 (2026) ; I have both versions installed but still need the older version for a client of mine...

I have used every version since CS2 and now update pretty much right on release date. There have been a few times I needed to backpedal to an earlier version. The latest version had an issue when not working in an application frame, enlarging the artboard window with the green enlarge button would make it go full screen. This has been remedied though with an update. I have not had any speed issues in many issues. Seeing as you obviously have Adobe CC you can easily install and uninstall if not working and as you have already done you can have both versions installed.
 
I took the plunge yesterday and upgraded to Tahoe, all is well with Indesign...

Had a backup solution in case it didn't work, still have my 2017 Intel iMac with Ventura, I could have installed Indesign 20 on that machine if things hadn't worked out.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone !

No issues here on Mac Pro 7,1 28 core Xeon and W6800X GPU. Using two 27” 5K screens.
 
Works for us, the main problem with Tahoe seem to be Electron apps.
