Your obvious answer is to LucyTune your music.
Any number of notes per octave and controllable con/dissonance.
Equivalents of all and every chord that you can play in 12tET or
19edo + many more you have yet to discover;-)

that is a feature of every horogram tuning also. or any generator that doesn't hit the octave
but flexible is all determined by what you want to do and most of all how you use it, how many ways one can rethink it.
obviously you can do allot with lucy tuning and it is always good to know when a tuning sticks with someone.
something we can't really predict for everyone.
