Best Mode?

I am just giving OP the actual facts, and experience from playing the actual game. It has never been any argument as you claimed.
Incredibly obvious fact, OP can't try any game mode like IM themselves. Players like them who haven't played for almost 2 decades have to rely on words of the others.
Now let's look at what OSRS has turned into, compared to RSC in 2003. In 2023, OSRS is switchcape. Although OSRS players tried very hard to say using different weapon specials and item activation is not EOC, we will have to pay the price of carrying a lot of items around. Hence we need a bank for vast majority of content. Also unlike RS3 FSW OP had played, we need a lot more food to heal in OSRS. Again, we need switchscape and bankspace.
Let's look at HCIM then. Realistically, even most veteran HCIM players including big streamers died to program glitches or disconnections. Players who haven't played OSRS since 2 decades ago probably should prepare to die and their HCIM adventure won't last too long.
I made these comments for discussions from not just my own observations but from testimonies I have seen from other OSRS players too. Feel free to discuss.

I don't know how anyone can play Ultimate Ironman for fun; that mode is purely for showing off to others how encumbered you can play. Both RS and OSRS are all about having a bank to stock-up on items. You'll also likely be glued to wiki and other guides for tips on how to do a lot of quests. It's probably a worthwhile mode if you've experienced everything there is to OSRS from a different account type, and just want to make another run even harder.
HCIM I think is an ok option. It requires more planning to make sure you don't die to something silly, which imo makes it a more fulfilling game mode.
I'm HCIM on OSRS around 1500 total level and I'm liking it, but kind of dreading if I ever decide to do Zulrah. I've tried that fight a few times as a regular account and couldn't get it at all. I'd be overall fine with not doing it since I don't care about PvM drops that much, but it's unfortunately tied to Ardy Hard diary or something and I'm kind of interested in a Crystal Halberd. I might try it after going hard on video tutorials, but I expect to lose my status with that.
Ironman is probably the best mode overall; you can experience the game without cheese, and die freely. RWT'ers won't like you of course since you're not able to fund their shenanigans

I strongly recommend those who are serious about HCIM, but new to OSRS or haven't played for 2 decades to check out how many players, even the very top ones, have died. So be prepared to meet the reality...
Important reminders:
(1) There is no practice mode in OSRS.
(2) OSRS doesn't restore lost items/characters seven due to disconnections, bugs, among other problems on Jagex's side.
