Not exactly what you're looking for but in case helpful, I used Fresh/Deno/Deno Deploy for a toy project & have some takeaways that might apply more broadly:

- there's a bunch of mildly annoying paper cuts due to not running the full set of npm/JavaScript (yet?). I had to Google for and debug deno specific versions of libraries I wanted to use. Felt similar to trying to write Web Worker subset JS for Cloudflare Workers. Hope this improves. Though being able to address packages at import location by URL was neat.

- Deno Deploy was outrageously fast at deploying. It made updating the live site a joy compared to other FaaS stuff I've used

- I liked that I could process multiple domains on the same project (I was able to make 3 sites https://thisclowndoesnotexist.com https://thisbernerdoesnotexist.com and https://thisghostdoesnotexist.com live with their own domains within 5 mins or so each which was neat). Their https certificate tool was sometimes being rate limited so required a couple retries

- the deno runtime itself is fast as heck. I know bun goes even further but dang, stuff installs and executes so quickly it feels broken at first

- the Deno Deploy edge is quite fast, and there seems to be no major cold start issues. See https://bench.t3.gg/ for some comparisons (I found it fun use `fly curl` to test global response times)
