For those of you who rode back on the days of 39/50 and sub30T rear 5 and 6 speed cassettes: 1. Would you go back to a sub-30T 5-speed cassette if you could, now that you have ridden with 30+ T cogs in modern cassettes?
Never in life.
2. Was anyone riding 30+t cogs back in the day? Seems like sub30 was the standard.
Yes. My 1972 P15 Paramount came with a Regina Oro freewheel with a 30T large sprocket, and after the LBS destroyed that taking it off, I switched to SunTour freewheels, all of which had a 32T large sprocket.
3. Could I use Compass Cycles' 5 and 6 speed cassettes on my Rivendells with enough spacers on the freehub to make up for the extra space?
Why would you want to do that? If for some reason you had a 7, 8 or 9 speed cassette and decided you wanted to only use 5 of the sprockets, there are two cheap and obvious ways you could do that: 1) ignore the others, or 2) lock them out with the derailleur range adjustment screws.
