Hi Joe,
This is a bit harsh, there have been good cloth contributions to Blender
by Luca Rood. The current module owner for it is Sebastian Parborg though.
I'd suggest to connect with them to see what steps forward could be.
We are also in the process of making a good node physics system to allow
solvers like this in a more generic setting. Design for this is ongoing.
It's super cool to see you want to come back, just give it a bit of time
to figure out who's doing what now.
Als note that we (including Blender Foundation / Institute) are in the
process of organizing ourselves much better, including onboarding, best
practices, engineering standards amd strict requirements for a good
design process - including the docs.
We lack in a lot of areas, and the consensus is to especially put
efforts in bringing the current state of the code in control (functional
and technical specs), before recoding modules entirely.

So, ten years ago I wrote several continuous collision detection systems
for cloth/hair, one of which I tried to push into trunk:

And, here's how the cloth sim performs today:

If the cloth development process is this dysfunctional (this patch actually
passed review?
https://developer.blender.org/rB0666ece2e2f96571200d693d9d7bee1ca72d026f )
then I propose we eliminate the cloth code entirely and go with a third
party lib (Bullet?).
