It's been a long road of refactoring the test suite to get here, but there are finally some visible benefits. The biggest remaining issues to fix before enabling it by default have to do with general test flakiness. Running tests in parallel changes test timing significantly, so timing-related test failures now occur more often. I've made some improvements in this area recently that also benefit sequential tests (one of my recent PRs actually went green!) and there are more to come. Still, running tests on your local system should usually go fine, so try it out! I'm also interested in finding out what the optimum number of test runners is, so if you experiment on your own system and find the number that reduces test times the most, let me know what it is and what CPU you're using and I'll use that data to set an optimum value when it's time to enable it by default.
