I haven't seen a spinning beachball on MacOS in years. I'm not even sure it still exists anymore. But also only rarely have a sluggish system, with or without a spinning beachball.

Definitely still exists. I get it in emacs sometimes (god only knows why).

Good to know! I definitely have not seen it in years! (two 2015 Macbooks running Catalina with 16GB).
