Haha that colour scale on the area variance page makes it a bit hard to see whether nearby H3 hexagons are very different in size...? I've never really investigated, but my baseless assumption was that nearby hexagons (at a high zoom level) would be pretty similar size? But maybe that's completely wrong.

But yeah, will definitely reach for A5 at some point just for the aesthetics!

My favourite DGGS (this is a new term to me) is water basins as created by HydroSheds [1]. Different area, unpredictable shape, basically no usefull properties but they conform to topography! Can get a feel for them with this little thing I made several years ago [2] (your Cells example reminded me of this).
