I would say 29 and 31 are pretty darn important primes

You beat me to it Pat - me too. They fit nice and cozy between 7/4 & 2/1.

As someone who uses some of Wilson tunings that involve factors into the
thousands as well as the hundreds I find it is always the context that
determines whether something works or not.

It's that La Monte influence that exposed me to 29 & 31 and on up.I still have
to really explore them beyond those intervals
of 29/16 and 31/16, but they work real well in a melodic
way.
