Is the Voronoi partition the best/most commonly used solution in practice? Or are there better tricks for this problem?

Voronoi is super popular and typically is a component of solutions used in practice, we did write another article that covers what some of those might look like: https://www.pinecone.io/learn/composite-indexes/

TLDR Voronoi + HNSW is popular
