Which is the "safest" model for YDL?

[Derick Centeno]

I have run everything from Champion Server to YDL 3.0.1 on a 233MHz 
Beige G3, just fine.  The trick is to remember to use BootX on the Mac 
OS 9 side and have the appropriate kernels which BootX can refer to so 
that you boot into the correct kernel from Mac OS 9.  There is no 
version of BootX for OS X and therefore to use YDL 4 and onwards you 
will have to maintain MacOS 9 and boot into YDL 4 from MacOS 9.

If this sounds a bit perverse, others have gotten YDL 4 to run on Beige 
G3 systems by some interesting means which appear astonishing.

You mention weeping and gnashing... unfortunately there are those for 
whom, weeping and gnashing are just encouragements and challenges to 
get an impossibly difficult task become probably tolerable.  For a few 
this is even called "recreation".   The old story of one person's beef 
is another's poison, applies here.
