What’s the general consensus regarding this feature when it comes to the experts that know way more than me about the camera in the iPhone? I keep reading mixed things about whether this setting should be enabled or disabled for best picture quality performance.

Disabled on my phones. I rarely use my camera, but when I do, i want my photos to be as good as possible. Prioritizing faster shooting decreases image quality.

I think this only affects it if you press shutter for rapid shots, but not for a typical take one pic shot.

Keywords here are "rapidly tap the shutter button"

I normally have it off, but it's really in how you use your phone. I was at an event this past weekend where I needed to take a lot of very quick action photos in a late evening low light situation, so I enabled it, but otherwise it's just reducing the quality of your photos unnecessarily.

I’ve done tests with it on and off, rapid fire took pictures, and compared them.

I could not for the life of me find any differences. So I’ve just left it on in the odd event something crazy happens and I need to take lots of pics quick.
