IIRC, I was involved in that thread back then.

I have been using AZR3-JACK ever since that discussion two years ago, on my own tracks, with live bands, in the studio, on recordings, and now even on a commercial rock record. I love it. Problem solved, AFAIAC.

The Leslie emulation could be a tiny bit more accurate, and the tonewheel shapes are kind of "flattened" sines (with several different settings) rather than a 100% faithful representation of a Hammond tonewheel, but, hey, it works and it's free and open-source and it sounds great.
