I think this will depend on a number of factors, some of which have to
do with your OS. For me, the last usable version of LC9 is dp6, which is
dated 8 March, so has no bugfixes or new features in the last six
months. While dp6 is the version I've standardized on for new work, I
can't recommend it for anything other than experimenting with new
features. In particular, extensions are not binary-compatible between
LC8 and LC9, which means I have two separate folders for user plugins,
etc. This is more of a pain than it appears, because LC8 and LC9 share
the same preferences file, so I have to switch preferences from the IDE
when moving between the two versions.
That said, dp6 seems pretty stable to me, so if you don't mind being six
months out of date, it's worth a look, especially if you can install it
on a separate machine or VM. I wouldn't trust production-ready code to
it, though.
