Prowlarr has listed in its default indexers a domain that reminds me a lof of another domain that closed in the last few years, but it's clearly a revival using the same name and adding an article behind it. I don't want to risk downloading from it but it looks well made and legit and responsive and well kept, basically too good to be true.

So, what would be your strategy to see if it's good? Also, there's a discord. But the discord disagrees with Prowlarr on which should the real domain be.

If you care about quality and want to grind for a couple or more months*

That depends on the site. With a seedbox for even just one month (€6, one time), anywhere with freeleech becomes trivial with autobrr and a little bit of setup. I joined IPT not long ago and got over 1TB of buffer within 2 weeks. Music trackers and unforgiving niche are generally the hardest.
